The Lubbock Art Institute resides in the Lubbock Art’s District and seeks to create a space for local high school students to create, learn, and showcase their artistic talents. Envisioned to be right in the heart of the Art’s District, the Lubbock Art Institute would also allow for public interaction and showcases through the monthly First Friday Art Trail that is hosted in the area. Having a space that is dedicated for the growth of the minds of high school students, but also the Downtown Lubbock area would benefit the entire population of the city. Drawing inspiration from both the Kings Road House as well as Villa VPRO, the instate has unique mass timber forms that are arrayed along the site.
