Arriving in 2025

​

For one amazing week, Downtown Houston will Fade To Black!

​

Emerging from the urgent need to address the departure of Black artists seeking opportunities outside our city, Shabach Enterprise, a minority-led non-profit organization, has created a platform for prominent arts groups in the Downtown Houston district to show unified, meaningful support for the advancement of African-American artists.

​

In collaboration with our vibrant arts community, this festival will simultaneously showcase the diverse works of African-American performances in film, music, poetry, and theatre. It will also provide a dynamic lineup of workshops, performances, readings, screenings, and discussions to cultivate greater appreciation for diverse perspectives.

This Fade To Black Arts Festival is projected to have an economic impact of $25 - $28 million for the city and be a first for the State of Texas.

​

We invite business owners, corporate partners, industry experts, and volunteers to join us in this transformative endeavor to revolutionize BIPOC theatre.

Sponsorship Opportunities are Available Now.
