The Third Ward Monopoly Club (TWMC) started in 2012, sought to organize and develop a group of tournament level Monopoly players. TWMC met weekly at the Eldorado Ballroom and featured numerous artists and community members of Houston’s Third Ward. The weekly meetings worked as a way for fellowship and the spawning of ideas and collaborations across the city.
This year, TWMC celebrates its 10th year with a week-long tournament. Art League Houston, DiverseWorks, and Project Row Houses will each host a night of Monopoly, featuring five games and one winner. These three winners will then compete at Contemporary Arts Museum Houston for the championship game.
