We're excited to feature Nima Mistry as part of our GAP Featured Artists series.

A Kathak and Garba dancer based in Houston, Texas, Nima's work is deeply rooted in tradition while embracing innovative approaches to storytelling. Trained in the Kalka-Bindadin Gharana of Kathak under Guru Smt. Shiva Mathur, she brings together performance, education, and community-building through her artistic practice.

What drew us to Nima's work is Kathputli, a powerful piece that uses Kathak to explore the realities of human trafficking. Through striking movement, multimedia elements, and a genre-blending musical score, she reimagines the possibilities of classical dance while addressing contemporary issues.

We invite you to explore Nima's work and learn more about the stories she brings to the stage later this year in Houston.

Stay tuned!

We started this showcase with a simple intention, to create a space where students can share original work that truly feels like their own. ✨

A space to take risks, try new ideas, step out of your comfort zone, and create without feeling like you need to fit into a certain mould.

Whether your work exists through movement, music, theatre, writing, photography, film, or visual art, we want to see what you’ve been creating.

Applications are now open.

There is something incredibly special about witnessing students share work that comes from curiosity, honesty, experimentation, and instinct.

We created this showcase because we believe young artists should have the space to ask their own questions, take risks, and think differently. This showcase is an invitation to bring your ideas into a shared space, whether you are still discovering your voice, trying something new, or quietly creating work you have been wanting people to experience.

If you are a dancer, writer, musician, actor, photographer, or visual artist, we would love to see what you have been making.

We hope this becomes a space for connection, conversation, and creative exchange between young artists from different disciplines and backgrounds.

If this speaks to you, send in your work. We’re excited to experience it with you. ✨ Apply through the link below:

Great morning with the Leadership Plano Class 42!

We were honored to participate in an arts panel discussion alongside such remarkable arts leaders Lupita Tinnen (Moderator, Collin College Fine Arts), Suzy Jones (Art Centre of Plano and Garage Arts Project), Tom Venner (Board of several nonprofits), Darrell Rodenbaugh (North Texas Performing Arts), and Dolly Thomas (Plano African American Museum).

In the room, we talked about volunteering, collaboration, and what it means to contribute to our community through the arts. The questions were thoughtful, and seeing emerging leaders who genuinely care about Plano’s cultural future was everything.

Thank you for inviting Garage Arts Project to be part of this conversation. We can’t wait to see what you all do next. 🙌

Reach out to us to learn more about opportunities to volunteer with Garage Arts Project!
