We are preparing for our November issue! We’ve revamped our calendar with creative opportunities, grants, festival application deadlines so creatives in various disciplines can plan for the future and see what their peers are up to.
These are some reports in our November coverage
Texas Senate hearing on unfair ticket practices by Shunya Carroll
Red River’s position in live music by Alice Kazakov
Adult entertainment hit with artificial intelligence By Nolan Golden

Quarterly Creative Opportunities Calendar
To better understand and serve the creative industries, I attended the Grater Houston Arts Forum on Monday. I connected with a ticketing company, venues, visual artists, musical artists, nonprofits, city staffers and advocacy groups.
We discussed finances, Texas/national policy and of course, art.
The summit was produced with advocacy group Texans for the Arts who is preparing for the 90th legislative session and Texas Arts Advocacy day on February, 11 and are tracking 78 bills currently in committee.
If you’re in Austin, come say hi during the Austin Studio Tour! We’ll be by the courtyard stage at Almost Real Things @ 2324 Studios.

I’m condensing and restructuring the newsletter to include the newspaper’s business updates and news that caught my attention. I’m finding the previous layouts have been lots of scrolling, with little payoff.
