Founded by artists in 1982, DiverseWorks is a force that continues to shape contemporary art practice in Houston and across the nation. A multidisciplinary arts nonprofit, we support artists through the commissioning and presentation of new projects and thrive on collaborations. We invite you to join us as we expand notions of what art is, where art happens, and what art can do.
