For decades Montrose has been a neighborhood where you can come as you are and feel welcome. Now filled with museums, cafes, shops, and dives, you'll often find them shrouded in greenery or intermingled amongst residences. A great escape from the sea of concrete. We feel pride when we support our community, and inspired by the people who work tirelessly to run the places we frequent. We know parking is a nightmare, it's just something you learn to deal with. A sign of a more progressive and welcomed time, Montrose may no longer be the ubiquitous gay community it was once. This doesn't mean it's lost its charm or forgotten its roots. To take a quote from one of the neighborhood's original developers (J.W. Link) a little out of context, "Houston has to grow. Montrose [will] lead the procession."

Dan Flavin's work with fluorescent light began when he attached a single eight-foot tube to his studio wall. A year after its installation he renamed the piece The Diagonal of May 25, 1963 (once The Diagonal of Ecstasy). This name was more representational of his work with light. While art is in the eye of the beholder, Flavin was clear that his interest in fluorescent lamps was based on the fact that they were readily available and preset in color and length. The installation at Richmond Hall was his penultimate work, and was completed by his studio after his death. It was designed specifically for the space, and when you walk into the building you are immediately in the work.
