About.

The Odessa Collective was founded by Houston, Texas natives Christopher Miguel Flakus and Rachel Ann Preston.

This organization’s sole purpose is to offer accessible ways to present art to the community.

We have run our open mic series, Disconnection Hotline, since April 2021. The series has had many hosts who helped spearhead its success for the last 4 years. We are proud to bring you more literary events + print material as we grow.
