Formerly known as the Society for the Performing Arts (SPA), Performing Arts Houston is a crown jewel in Houston’s art community for over 55 years. Performing Arts Houston was born of Houston’s need to fill Jones Hall with performances.

Today Performing Arts Houston is the largest nonprofit presenting organization of its kind in the entire Southwest. They continue to present internationally acclaimed artists from the entire performing arts spectrum, traditional to avant-garde alike, from large orchestras and dance companies to recitalists and solo performers.
