Art Colony Association Awards $28,000 in Donations to
2018 Bayou City Art Festival Memorial Park Beneficiaries
Proceeds from the three-day outdoor fine art festival benefits seven Houston charities
HOUSTON, June 11, 2018 – The Art Colony Association, Inc. (ACA), awarded $28,000 in donations to the seven beneficiaries from Bayou City Art Festival Memorial Park, which was held March 23-25, 2018.
“It is amazing to see the support from our patrons and sponsors grow every year to help us continue to raise funds for worthy causes,” said Joe Pogge, President of the Art Colony Association. “We are happy to give back to the community that supports our festivals and we love to be a part of our non-profit partners as they support Houstonians.”
Each non-profit provided volunteers and had the option to host an art station in the Direct Energy Children’s Creative Zone. The seven non-profit partners that benefited from the 2018 Bayou City Art Festival Memorial Park included:
● A Cause to Give us Paws
● Avenue 360: Health & Wellness
● Fresh Arts
● Houston Arboretum & Nature Center
● Museum of Fine Arts, Houston
● The Arc of Greater Houston
● The University of Houston – Clear Lake Art Gallery
ACA has provided a venue for more than 20,000 artists to showcase their work to thousands of art lovers from all over the world at Bayou City Art Festival Memorial Park in the spring and Bayou City Art Festival Downtown in the fall. For every festival, a new jury selects participating artists, some new and some returning. This creates a fresh and different festival year after year. Patrons have the opportunity to personally meet the artists, view original works, and purchase world class art. A percentage of proceeds from Bayou City Art Festival benefits its local non-profit partners. Over the past 47 years, Bayou City Art Festival has raised over $3.6 million in support of local non-profit organizations.
On Saturday and Sunday, October 13-14, 2018, ACA will celebrate 47 years of fine art and giving back as it spotlights 300 artists at Bayou City Art Festival in Downtown Houston. The weekend gallery will transform the streets of Downtown Houston into artistic avenues filled with live entertainment, beverages, food trucks, and much more.
Local non-profit organizations interested in becoming a partner for Bayou City Art Festival Downtown this fall can submit an online application here beginning July 2, 2018. Deadline to apply is July 13, 2018.

I discovered that I was infected with the virus 3 months ago, after a medical check-up. My doctor told me and I was shocked, confused and felt like my world has crumbled. I was dying slowly due to the announcement of my medical practitioner but he assured me that I could leave a normal life if I took my medications (as there was no medically known cure to Herpes). I went from churches to churches but soon found that my case needed urgent attention as I was growing lean due to fear of dying anytime soon. In a bid to look for a lasting solution to my predicament, I sought for solutions from the herbal world. I went online and searched for every powerful trado-medical practitioner that I could severe, cos I heard that the African Herbs had a cure to the Herpes syndrome. It was after a little time searching the web that I came across one Dr Itua(A powerful African Herbal Doctor), who offered to help me at a monetary fee. I had to comply as this was my final bus-stop to receiving a perfect healing. My last resolve was to take my life by myself, should this plan fail. At last it worked out well. He gave me some steps to follow and I meticulously carried out all his instructions. Last month, to be precise, I went back to the hospital to conduct another test and to my amazement, the results showed that negative,Dr Itua Can As Well Cure The Following Desease…Cancer,Hiv,Herpes, Hepatitis B,Liver Inflammatory,Diabetis,Fribroid, Dercum,fibromyalgia,Get Your Ex Back, You can free yourself of this Herpes virus by consulting this great African Herbal Doctor via this e-mail: drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com or call and whatsapp him on +2348149277967 He will help you and his herb medication is sure. he has the cure on all disease .You can talk to me on INSTAGRAM..tashamoore219....
