WHAT'S NEW
James Surls wood and steel flowers will greet visitors to Sam Houston State University’s new Performing Arts Center. The Surls sculpture will be 15’ high by 10’ wide and hang in the lobby. Designed by WHR Architects of Houston, the PAC will have concert and recital halls as well as facilities for theatre and dance.
The process from research to installation of the art has taken 14 months. A 10-person committee made up of University arts professors, the associate dean of Arts & Sciences and a representative from the Huntsville community participated in the selections. A grand opening to present the PAC is planned for August.
