BLNKA is a Texas non-profit operating in Lubbock, San Antonio, and Houston. We are a group of artists, musicians, designers, architects, and engineers exploring urban design through curated projects that engage local people and business. Our program at BLNKA aspires to create outlets that empower growth, connectivity, and community. In the past, we’ve curated events that showcase the activation of underserved properties with music and art. Today we seek to create more permanent installations that will inspire community engagement and development. By exploring the urban landscape we can asses how arts may impact an area and celebrate the diverse talent and culture cities embody. These are our observations, measurements, and studies as a collective.
