GA RY T I N T E ROW Director of the Museum of Fine Arts Houston "I wish that Hurricane Harvey and the flood had not occurred. And I think all of us are in reparation mode. … The performing arts venues downtown were severely impacted. All of us are doing everything we can to assist our colleagues, provide interim facilities, to lend expertise and resources to help people rebuild their programming. Many of the cultural venues are show- ing a decline in attendance and I'm hoping that as time progresses and people resume their normal lives, that they will take the time to refresh and inspire themselves through cultural activities. The new Glassell School of Art building is set to open in mid-May and it will be a much more distinctive and dramatic building—we have consid- erably more space and many more classrooms. Although we are increasing the physical space somewhat, we are dramatically increasing the capacity for instruction because of the way the facil- ity is designed. When the school opens it will not just be the school, but a brand new public plaza, an outdoor amphithe- ater, and a roof garden. Those three new facilities will dramatically enhance our campus and the experience of visitors to the museum. (continued) Carli Lloyd, 2-time Olympic Gold Medalist STRENGTH Strength of Cancer Care.
