I was living in Paris, France when my husband came up with the news that we were moving to Houston. My mind was filled with the typical Texas clichés: desert, cow-boys and huge roads. But what I found when I arrived was a multicultural and dynamic city full of theaters, museums, art ….. I was so impressed, I could not get bored! The idea of contributing to the development of the arts and culture in Houston started germinating in my mind. I wanted to provide the cultural organizations, artists and everything related to art with the expertise and know-how that I gained when working as an Arts & Culture Manager in France. So I created Boost the Arts, LLC. 
Boost the Arts was born with the intent to bring a new dynamism to Houston’s cultural life, promote innovative arts and bring the Houstonian communities closer together. I am Italian and I also lived in France for several years. I come from two European countries where arts and history are everywhere. Boost the Arts will bring the European touch to Houston’s cultural life while awakening the curiosity of the public for new forms of art.
