houston press artopia

Artopia is a charity event dedicated to highlighting Houston's rich and diverse art scene.
Performers, fashion designers, dancers, visual artists and musicians come together under one
roof to create a sensory overload. This year’s event featured live musical performances by
Runaway Sun, Ryan Scroggins & the Trenchtown Texans, Benjamin Wesley, and DJ Ceeplus
Bad Knives & Friends. The fashion show featured up-and- coming designs from Material Girls,
Affection Boutique and Billy Reid. More than 30 local artists displayed visual art ranging in style
from graffiti to abstract to pop. If that wasn’t enough, dance performances were staged
by Houston Metropolitan Dance Company, Dominic Walsh Dance Theater and Cuadro La
Tempestad Flamenco. Artopia is also home to the MasterMind Award Ceremony where
Houston Press presents $6,000 in grants to area artists, innovators and entrepreneurs who have
changed Houston’s creative and cultural landscape in the fields of visual art, performance art,
film/video/media, literary arts and fashion/design.
