There used to be a public art display here but it has moved! Cache is still behind where they are used to be - and I will keep the name although the doors are now gone. I like to run at Memorial Park and I like public art. Here are two of my favorite things close to the GZ! I wanted the cacher to be able to enjoy the art, get some fresh air, and find a quick smiley. I also thought it would be nice for a night cache since that is when muggle activity is lowest.
Since the beginning of 2013, around sixty unique doors were produced and are being installed in nineteen locations around the city of Houston. The locations are highlighted on a map that serves as a « Cultural Trail » and guide the public to all the OPEN THE DOOR events pointing to the doors as well as the diverse cultural local neighborhoods around Houston. French and American musicians, dancers, storytellers, etc. will perform at each location. Opening receptions for the installations will feature speakers who will expand upon the ideals and goals of OPEN THE DOOR.
In collaboration with the artists, after submitting design ideas to a contest juried by Houstonian art professionals, student teams chosen from local Houston educational and cultural institutions like The Art League of Houston, The Awty International School, The Glassell School of Art, HSPVA, Lone Star College, Neighborhood Centers, Rice University, The University of Houston Main Campus and Downtown, Westchester Academy for International Studies will work on creating their own doors. Throughout the creative process the French and Texan artists will provide guidance, advice, and encouragement to the art students and will collaborate on a door with them as well. Many organizations including the Houston Public Library, Diverseworks, Avenue CDC, Texas Children Cancer Center, the City of Houston, The Houston Parks Department and the French Consulate of Houston are also actively involved in the project.
