HouArts in Action is a collaborative, region-wide initiative designed to strengthen Greater Houston’s arts and culture sector through strategic advocacy, expanded partnerships, and unified messaging.
Earlier this month, our Vibrant Spaces working group visited Las Perras Café! a Latina-owned creative space in Houston’s East End that’s boldly redefining what a café can be. Here’s what owner Andrea had to say. 🌸
Thank you to everyone who joined us for the Arts x Influence: A creative Exchange at the in Fifth Ward. Your presence made this moment possible.

This was Houston’s arts community and content creators coming together for the first time — talking honestly about collaboration, storytelling, and what it really takes to tell this city’s story. This is just the beginning!
Thank you to Deluxe Theatre for hosting us in such an incredible space.
Organized by HouArts Effective Storytelling Working Group
It started with a conversation.
Back in March, we brought content creators Erika Harrison and Shea Jordan Smith into the room with Houston’s arts community because the internet was already talking about Houston as a cultural destination, and we felt like both worlds needed to actually meet. That one conversation turned into something bigger.
Tomorrow, we’re taking it further. The Arts x Influence: A Creative Exchange brings together Houston’s arts sector and creators for a night of open discussion, new connections, and one shared question: how do we tell Houston’s story together? Claudia, Erika, and Shea will also be part of the panel conversation during the event.
