A Live Sketch at Art on the
Avenue
|
Art on the Avenue serves as a marketplace for community
artists, in which the artists share the proceeds from
the auction of their work with Avenue. Thus, the event
promotes the economic success of local artists while
also raising funds for Avenue's affordable housing programs.
In
addition to showcasing the works of noted Houston artists,
Art on the Avenue provides live entertainment,
beer and wine, and excellent food. The event also auctions
vacation packages, jewelry, and other items provided
by local business owners.
Art on the Avenue raises funds
for Avenue CDC's revitalization programs which promote
economic opportunities and affordable
housing for the residents of Houston's Washington
Avenue and Near Northside communities. Under Avenue's
award-winning
Move Home program, donated homes are moved to vacant
lots, rehabilitated, and made available for purchase
by low-income families. Other projects include The
Jefferson Davis Hospital, Oak Arbor, a 94-unit mixed
income townhome
development, and Washington Courtyards, a 74-unit
mixed income apartment development.
