Our Mayor, Bill White

I must say, I was surprised to see so many people attend this opening considering it was during lunch time on a thursday. Nonetheless, after seeing the artwork I knew why. The mayor started it off by making a great speech and I was shocked to see his enthusiasm for the arts. Hopefully someone caught it on tape and will put it on YouTube. The first 4 floors of the building had artwork along the main hallways and was a collection of some of Houston’s most talented new artists. There were all types of styles and I guarantee you’d find something you like. Unfortunately I think that viewing these pieces any other time than the opening might be a little akward since it’s in a government office setting. You also have to go through an x-ray machine and sign in just to get through the front door… and downtown parking during business hours!
