Celebrate Houston Young People for the Arts' 5th year of introducing Houston's young arts enthusiasts to the Houston art scene.
Our 5th year also honors Randall Jamail for his vision and generous contribution to the Houston art scene.
I Dream of Maharani takes its inspiration from the upcoming world premiere of Stanton Welch's La Bayadere for Houston Ballet. We are partnering with Houston Ballet Barre and a portion of IDOM proceeds will go toward Houston Ballet's community outreach program, Dance Works!, which reaches school-aged children in Houston's communities.
Dress: Come dressed in your Bollywood-inspired attire (saris encouraged!) or grab something from our Indian bazaar to complete your look.
Enjoy $5 raffle tickets with chance of winning 2 R/T Continental Airlines tickets and more!
Generous Sponsors of Houston Young People for the Arts 5th year: Advantage BMW Midtown, Desi-gn, House of Blues, Houston magazine, Continental Airlines.
