This collection of stainless steel shafts transform the Wortham Theater's otherwise useless east wall into a blank canvas for glittering art. Each of the seven pillars is made up of artwork from local children cut into 150 metal panels. They're supposed to represent a part of Houston's history - agriculture, energy, medicine, manufacturing, philanthropy, technology and transportation. But it appears some of the children didn't remain on topic. We're not sure if the "Don't Do Drugs" panel represents medicine, or philanthropy. Either way, the children selected were all born in 1986, the year of Houston's sesquicentennial. At night they are illuminated from inside and look like giant lanterns.
