Texas Women for the Arts, a giving circle of the Texas Cultural Trust, is heading west on May 9th and 10th for their 7th annual meeting, in El Paso, Texas.  The organization, which is now 260 women strong, harnesses the power of the purse to combine members’ resources and “awaken and nurture the artist in every Texas child.”  To date, the group has awarded more than $700,000 to 28 organizations across the state, benefiting more than half a million Texas children.  Next month, funding will be determined for eight more arts education programs across the state.  Click here for a video preview of the El Paso trip.  For more information, or to become a member, click here.
