Cynthia Woods Mitchell Center for the Arts, University arts center in Houston, United States
The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Center for the Arts is an arts facility at the University of Houston housing five art schools under one roof. It offers programs in music, theater, dance, creative writing, and visual arts.
The center opened in 2003 thanks to a major gift from businessman George P. Mitchell. It was dedicated to the memory of his late wife, Cynthia Woods Mitchell.
The center brings together different artistic disciplines in shared spaces where dancers, musicians, visual artists, and writers work side by side. This mix of art forms shapes how performances and exhibitions happen throughout the year.
The center hosts performances, exhibitions, and workshops year-round that are open to students and the general public. Most events are easily accessible on campus and wheelchair friendly.
The center hosts artists in residencies who develop projects and create installations in public spaces on campus. This allows visitors to discover contemporary art while walking through the university grounds.
