LIT was founded by Clara Ploux and Nikki Wuertz in September 2015 to build new opportunities for artistic endeavors in Houston that embrace our cosmopolitan communities, both locally and internationally. Through workshops, shows, art and theatre media performances, exhibitions, films, international collaborations, grants to work or study abroad, and all kinds of art presentations LIT is aiming to facilitate multicultural and international art exchanges that offer new opportunities to Houston artists while bringing cultural enrichment and diversity to Houston audiences.
