ArtsHouston Magazine aims to fill a need for a media voice dedicated to the cultural arts in order to increase the visibility of Houston as a major center for the arts. ArtsHouston is a business based on profitability, independence, and integrity and focuses on contemporary art and culture while providing fresh perspectives on conventional styles. ArtsHouston features editorial coverage that is intelligent, inspiring and fun while speaking to all aspects of the art and culture cycle.
As Houston’s only monthly arts magazine, we aim to be a platform of communication for our community. Houston is a city set to lead in the arts and we hope to be the voice that propels this vision.
ArtsHouston is the only publication dedicated to the arts in Houston. Our publication and website reaches artists, patrons, collectors and art lovers. The nonprofit arts alone is a $626.3 million industry and leverages an additional $356.3 million in audience spending that pumps vital revenue into local restaurants, hotels, retail stores and other businesses. 10.7 million people attended performing arts, museum and zoo exhibits, festivals and special events in Houston in 2004, more than twice the number of people who attended Houston's three major league professional sports teams in 2005. Audience members and visitors report spending an average of $33.49 each in addition to the cost of their tickets, $11 more than the national average. (source: Houston Cultural Impact Study).
