The Main Street Marquee is a billboard-sized canvas affixed to the building face above the Main Street Market in Downtown Houston. This rotating art space showcases the talent of local and regional artists. The Main Street Marquee is part of Art Blocks, a temporary public art initiative created and managed by the Houston Downtown Management District. From lessons learned about public art’s capacity to awaken change in areas that have not yet realized their full potential, Art Blocks strives to enliven underutilized areas of Downtown Houston.
