Houston Arts and Media fundraiser

Houston Arts and Media is having a fundraiser at the St. Arnold's Brewery this Thursday night.

Houston Arts and Media is involved in a number of local history projects, including:

- A documentary film about the history of stand-up comedy in Houston

- A series of books about the history of different Houston neighborhoods

- A photographic collection of historic Houston school buildings

- A documentary and book about "Houston's historic beer joints and saloons"

- A book about the history of Frostown

- A collection of oral histories recorded from long-time Houstonians

The fundraiser will feature a silent auction, plus (from their website):

"There will be live music, food, and, of course, complimentary St. Arnold beer. We will be displaying a new slideshow montage of collected interviews and photographs, and Donna Kacmar, a UH Architecture professor, will be displaying some of the results of her students' work on the architectural history of Houston's Ice Houses, Burger Joints and Taco Stands, a project that aligns with our pending documentary History of Houston Beer Joints and Saloons."

Tickets at the door are $20 - but it sounds like a good cause, and the beer is free. The event is from 6-9, and the brewery is here.
