BBAP and Spacetaker close the door to the Artist Saloon.

HOUSTON, TX (August 5, 2008): 

For Immediate Release 

The Artist Saloon has featured more than 45 Houston artists working in the literary, visual and performance arts speaking to a cumulative audience of more than 700 Houstonians and visitors. After more than a year of presenting these monthly lectures in partnership, BBAP and Spacetaker have decided to focus on their respective individual programs.

BBAP will return to presenting its original monthly artist lecture series, Slide-Show Happy Hour, beginning again in September 2008. BBAP is proud to announce that this programming will be presented at their new office and home in the Box13 ArtSpace located at 6700 and 6702 Harrisburg on the near Eastside.

Spacetaker will continue to present collaborative monthly artist lectures at the Artist Resource Center that facilitate dialog and collaboration between the diverse artistic disciplines practiced in Houston, TX.
