III. Sculpture’s Tap This mixture of beer gardens, art studios, and exhibition space seeks to uplift and represent local artists in Bellaire, Texas, while being a place of refuge for the rest of the community. The area has a noticeable lack of activity or entertainment, and deeply needed a focal point that can drive the community together. With the usage of sculpture gardens, roof gardens, and elegant frosted glass, it seeks to be an oasis from the average Houstonians daily life.
