Hobby Center

About the Hobby Center: The Hobby Center for the Performing Arts operates as the Houston Music Hall Foundation, a non-profit organized as a 501-c-3 corporation. It's mission is to serve the community as a privately operated and maintained institution that will provide premier venues for resident companies and other professional and community attractions; to broaden the range, quality and accessibility of cultural fare available to the public; to encourage distinctive arts education and outreach programs; and to contribute to the cultural quality of life in Houston and the region. The complex houses two performance chambers, a five star restaurant, and an 800 car capacity on-premise parking garage. Built entirely with private money and then gifted to the City of Houston, the Foundation operates the Hobby Center without municipal or taxpayer support.
