Winter Street Studios has been serving the art community in the First Ward since 2005. A former moving and storage building that was constructed in the 1920's was scheduled to be torn down before being acquired and redeveloped by the current owner. The building is located at 2101 Winter Street (corner of Winter and Henderson) and features 75 working artist studios with over 90 artists. These studios support the flourishing art community in First Ward, where Spring Street Studios, sister to Winter, provides another 70 working art studios with a population of over 90 of Houston's most creative types. Artists, art patrons and the community as a whole benefit from these cultural additions to the City of Houston. Winter Street Studios is ideally located within proximity to Downtown and in the heart of what is now being referred to Houston's Arts District.
