The internationally acclaimed Museum of Fine Arts, Houston (MFAH) sits directly south of the UST campus. The world-renowned Menil Collection and numerous other museums are in the immediate neighborhood, providing art students easy access to a treasure trove of original art works. UST also enjoys close proximity to the Houston Theater District, which includes nine organizations in all of the major performing arts disciplines – ballet, music, opera and theater. Year-round performances take place at the Alley Theatre, Hobby Center for the Performing Arts, Jones Hall and Wortham Theater Center. UST Performing and Fine Arts Center To attract and serve students in the creative fields, UST will establish a higher profile for the arts on campus and provide exceptional venues to accommodate them. A planned Performing and Fine Arts Center will give students the opportunity to refine their talents, while affording UST a greater, more impactful presence in the community. “Using what I learned during my The Glassell School of Art progression through the program, UST studio arts students enjoy the best of two campuses. Non-studio art coursework is taken on I will be able to implement idea the UST campus, and studio arts coursework is taken generation, visual problem solving and at the Glassell School of Art MFAH.

712 & 708 Main Street, Houston
712 & 708 MAIN STREET, HOUSTON 712 & 708 MAIN STREET, HOUSTON KEEP UP WITH THE JONES Introducing The Jones on Main, a storied Houston workspace that marries classic glamour with state-of-the-art style. This dapper icon sets the bar high, with historic character – like classic frescoes and intricate masonry – elevated by contemporary co-working space, hospitality-inspired lounges and a restaurant-lined lobby. Highly accessible and high-energy, The Jones on Main is a stylishly appointed go-getter with charisma that always shines through. This is the place in Houston to meet, mingle, and make modern history – everyone wants to keep up with The Jones. Opposite Image : The Jones on Main, Evening View 3 A Historically Hip Houston Landmark A MODERN MASTERPIECE THE JONES circa 1945 WITH A TIMELESS PERSPECTIVE The Jones on Main’s origins date back to 1927, when 712 Main Street was commissioned by legendary Jesse H. Jones – Houston’s business and philanthropic icon – as the Gulf Oil headquarters. The 37-story masterpiece is widely acclaimed, a City of Houston Landmark recognized on the National Register of Historic Places. Together with 708 Main Street – acquired by Jones in 1908 – the property comprises an entire city block in Downtown Houston. Distinct and vibrant, The Jones touts a rich history, Art Deco architecture, and famous frescoes – soon to be complemented by a suite of one-of-a-kind, hospitality- inspired amenity spaces. Designed for collaboration and social interaction, these historically hip spaces connect to a range of curated first floor retail offerings, replete with brand new storefronts and activated streetscapes.

14PL120 Alley Theatre FINAL.Pdf
CITY OF HOUSTON Archaeological & Historical Commission Planning and Development Department PROTECTED LANDMARK DESIGNATION REPORT LANDMARK NAME: Alley Theatre AGENDA ITEM: C OWNER: Alley Theatre HPO FILE NO.: 14PL120 APPLICANT: Scott J. Atlas DATE ACCEPTED: Aug-21-2014 LOCATION: 615 Texas Avenue HAHC HEARING DATE: Sep-25-2014 SITE INFORMATION Lots 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8 & 12 & Tract 11, Block 60, SSBB, City of Houston, Harris County, Texas. TYPE OF APPROVAL REQUESTED: Protected Landmark Designation HISTORY AND SIGNIFICANCE SUMMARY The Alley Theatre was founded in 1947 by Nina Vance (1914-1980), one of the most outstanding theatrical directors in the U.S. and Texas in the mid twentieth century. The Alley is now one of the oldest non-profit, professional, resident theater companies in continuous operation in the United States. From its inception, the Alley Theatre staged productions in an “arena” or “in the round” spatial format, a practice associated with cutting-edge theatrical companies in the mid-twentieth-century period. In the Alley’s first season (1947-48), performances were held in a dance studio on Main Street. Audience members had to walk along a narrow outdoor passage to get to the performance space; this passage was the origin of the Alley’s name. In 1962, the Alley Theatre was given a half-block site in the 600 block of Texas Avenue by Houston Endowment and a $2 million grant from the Ford Foundation for a new building and operating expenses. The theater was to be part of a downtown performance and convention complex including Jones Hall, the home of the Houston Symphony, Houston Grand Opera, and Society for the Performing Arts.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MEDIA CONTACT: Jacalyn Lawton Public Relations Manager [email protected] [email protected] THEATER DISTRICT HOUSTON BOARD OF DIRECTORS APPOINTS JIM NELSON TO CHAIRMAN HOUSTON, TEXAS [Dec. 21, 2020] — Theater District Houston Board of Directors appoints Jim Nelson as its new Chairman. Nelson, Executive Director of Houston Ballet, will serve as the Chairman until September 2022. “I am honored to represent Houston’s expansive Theater District,” says Nelson. “The talent we have in our city is immense, and we have all showed the world our resiliency and creativity during this turbulent year.” Nelson succeeds Perryn Leech, who served in the role since 2014. Leech will depart Houston in March 2021 to assume the General Director seat at Canadian Opera Company, per his November announcement. “The Theater District is stronger due to Perryn’s leadership,” says Nelson. “He will be greatly missed, and we wish him the best on his next chapter.” Nelson has spent nearly his entire career in the arts. Beginning as a professional dancer, he performed for 11 years with Cincinnati Ballet, Houston Ballet and Ballet de Santiago. After retiring from the stage, Nelson was named general manager of Houston Ballet in August 2000. In 2005, he was selected for and attended the Stanford University Graduate School of Business Executive Program for Non-Profit Leaders. Since assuming the role of Houston Ballet’s Executive Director in 2012, Nelson has led the nonprofit through a period of transformational growth and acclaim. His tenure has included the pursuit of building large-scale, full-length ballets and expanding Houston Ballet's international exposure.
