A fire just days before Christmas 2022 caused destruction to the Winter Street Studios building but organizers are bouncing back by raising funds through a gala later this month and supporters of the art are invited to help.
However, a destructive fire at Winter Street Studios just days before Christmas 2022 looked to tear down these expressions. According to Fresh Arts Executive Director Angela Carranza, it is one of the many warehouses in the Art's District in the Sawyer Yards area, that houses more than 70 artist's studios.
"The artists have significant damage to their art, their supplies, and materials, furniture," she continued. "So in many senses, everyone has been impacted. Even Fresh Arts even though we didn't lose artwork, and we didn't experience the same amount of damage that the artist did, we've also been displaced." News of the fire came as a horrific shock, and so many thoughts came to mind.
Coupled with the incident occurring on the heels of Carranza completing her first year as executive director, she was left to make big decisions in the face of calamity. "I feel like the arts in the art and artists, in particular in Houston are so resilient," Carranza said. "You know, this is not the first incident that's happened within the arts community. We've had Harvey, we've had COVID. and time and time again, artists in the creative community find ways to overcome situations.
