About Houston Young People for the Arts

The concept of Houston Young People for the Arts (HYPA) was conceived by two Houston residents acknowledging the need for an umbrella organization to help the next wave of art supporters experience the Houston art scene through monthly events. HYPA is a committee of the Houston Downtown Improvement, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that promotes Downtown Houston and manages the Theater District through the Houston Downtown Alliance.

HYPA aims to promote education of the visual and performing arts; advance cultural awareness of current events in the Houston art scene, particularly among young people; and to collaborate with companies, governmental and not-for profit organizations to achieve these goals.
