​
Founded on a basic principle, “Painting with a purpose,” Houston Art Center provides leadership, training, education, and employment to the creative working class in underserved communities; that do not have the resources to seek a professional career in art.
By providing artistic services to organizations, businesses, and partnerships we are able to elevate the creative working class individually. Thus bringing hope through art, providing a solution to poverty, and enriching underserved communities.
We hope to provide artists who seek a professional career in art; a platform to unite, gain hands-on training, employment and exposure through partnerships with Houston Business opportunity and other city and state entities.
​
Today HAC is actively working in the greater Houston-Hobby community developing the youth, and local artists, focusing on three aspects: Leadership, Enterprise, and Community.
Leadership- In our School of Art, we offer an afterschool youth art program, high school internship program, college apprentice program, and adult art classes. HAC focuses on developing the natural talent of the student, teaching the skill of airbrushing, and mentorship. We mentor artists in pursuit of their own professional interest, and connect them to other businesses, organizations, and events for exposure and further opportunity.
​
Enterprise- We employ artists by offering artists services such as murals, promotions, company shirts, logo design for local businesses. In this initiative we can give artists hands-on training, experience, and provide job opportunities using their talent.
​
Community- We currently are working within the Houston Hobby area to bring transformation within the community, through murals, and community outreach programs here at the Houston Art Center.
