Public Art of the University of Houston System
The University of Houston was the first public system university in Texas to establish a Percent-for-Arts program, with one percent of every capital campaign going toward the purchase of public art pieces. The collection has grown to over 400 pieces across UH System’s five campuses and includes acclaimed local, national and international artists. Free tours take place every month for the greater Houston community.
