On the third Wednesday of every other month, Spacetaker hosts artists from varying disciplines to present their latest work in an informal environment. A question-and-answer session follows, where the audience can find out more about creative methods, challenges, and everything in between. The series provides a place to get to know the many artists who live in or travel to Houston.

August’s Artist SPEAKeasy features artist Lizbeth Ortiz and local salsa organization Strictly Street Salsa.
