One Community — a fundraising campaign in partnership with the City of Houston to support the arts and our local nonprofit partners. Individuals and corporations can ensure the Bayou City Art Festival’s return to Memorial Park and Downtown Houston and it’s programming in the community by committing to donate and by participating in the many upcoming fundraising events.
