Looking for home-grown art? Then look no
further than the Washington Avenue Arts
District — Texas’ largest creative commu-
nity. In fact, it’s a state-recognized cultural
district in Houston. Already, the District is
home to several converted warehouse studio
buildings (you can find LOCAL Houston mag-
azine inside Spring Street Studios). The
multi-building complex is home to more
than 300 studios of artists and cre-
ative entrepreneurs, as well as vast
amounts of exhibition and event
space. Because of this unique
congregation of creative
space, the District boasts
what is believed to be
the highest concen-
tration of work-
ing artists in
the United
States!
