DiverseWorks has shown remarkable (and uncommon) flexibility as our projects have evolved and an astonishing eagerness to go above and beyond to make ambitious work possible. DiverseWorks truly puts their proverbial money where their mouths are, and that kind of genuine, full-spectrum support is what makes it possible for us to sustain our artistic careers in Houston.
