Art in the Heart fosters a united Houston through transformative art, empowering individuals across generations. While our arts center is based in Eastex Jensen, we serve all of Houston, with a special focus on uplifting Northeast Houston. Originally launched as a mobile art studio, we’ve grown into a vital community hub, offering art classes, summer camps, cultural events, and resources that foster civic engagement. 

Serving over 6,000 people annually, we provide affordable, culturally relevant programming that empowers the predominantly Black and Latino community to connect, express themselves, and celebrate their heritage. Through art, we promote pride, resilience, and community impact, creating a safe and vibrant space for creativity to thrive.
