Sawyer Yards Creative Campus (where LOCAL Houston magazine also makes its home) is the outcome of a revolutionary partnership between some of Houston’s leading developers. Dedicated to preserving the creative culture of the quickly changing Washington Avenue Arts District, the project partners came together to create a permanent home for the creative minds of Houston. An inspiring mix of architecture, landscape design, traditional arts and non-traditional marketing, this creative community bursts with innovative energy, exciting cultural programming and creative idea exchange.
Come out and explore, and support local artists and our local arboretum.
