Thanks to the Art House Convergence Visiting Members Program (VMP), your Arthouse Houston Cinephile Membership now allows you to purchase tickets at the member discount at participating independent cinemas, like the historic Texas Theatre in Dallas, and many more across the country!
How does it work?
Look for the VMP window sticker at the box office the next time you visit an indie exhibitor.
When you see it, show proof of your current Arthouse Houston Cinephile Membership to receive ticket discounts. It’s that easy! You can also find a full list of participating cinemas by state here.
Some of the perks you can claim:
- Member-priced tickets at participating art houses nationwide
- Access to other basic-level membership perks (like discounted concessions or parking) at select locations

One of the things in this world you genuinely and definitely cannot construct is an old building. Add to that: the rarity of an actual existing and operational movie palace. This one has a history literally like no other left in Houston.
