 | | American abstract painter Frank Stella, one of the most adventurous and versatile artists of his generation, has made the house's grand entrance hall and lobby a masterpiece with his brilliant colors, sweeping arabesques, and geometric shapes covering the entire length of the vaulted ceiling and back wall (see the Stella Project, below). |
 | | The painting and 1997 installation of the 5000-square-foot Stella Project inside the theater of the Moores Opera House was a city-wide collaboration with the Museum of Fine Arts Houston, the Contemporary Arts Museum, The Menil Collection, The Cultural Arts Council of Houston and Harris County, the Blaffer Gallery, and the Moores School of Music Society. |
 | | Upon construction of the new Moores School of Music building in 1996, then director of the School of Music David Tomatz asked the Stillman family for permission to house a significant number of Stillman's paintings in the green room of the new Moores Opera House, to be known as the Ary Stillman Green Room. |
