As Michael Peranteau mentioned to Rick Lowe, Houston’s arts community use to be much more politically active. This Tuesday evening there’s a general meeting/get together to discuss how the Houston arts community can bring forth its voice in the political arena on issues including health care reform and Quincy Jones’ proposal for a secretary of the arts. Nestor Topchy has offered Avant Garden as a place to meet. Tuesday, September 15, 6 pm.
