Is love contagious? The #LoveHouston Art Wall creators certainly think so. Every day more than 22,000 vehicles pass within a few feet of their Houston hair salon. The smart business move may have been to put up a large sign to advertise the salon to this constant stream of potential clients. But that didn't seem right to owners Rachel Gower and her husband Brian Williard. They have lived in Houston for more than twenty years and want to spread their love for Houston and it's diverse population to residents and visitors alike. This February, Houston will host Super Bowl 51 and nearly half a million visitors will stream into the city from all corners of the world. As the #LoveHouston Art Wall is located on one of Houston's busiest streets, many Super Bowl 51 visitors will see the message...and hopefully take it home with them. Gower acknowledged the timing of the art wall installation with the Super Bowl by saying, 'We love Houston and all of it's amazing people. Our hope is to show the world how America's most diverse city can live, love and thrive together.'

On the penultimate night of the 2016 Cabaret Convention, presented by the Mabel Mercer Foundation, 11 fantastic cabaret artists---those who are celebrated in the form as well as those who are emerging alike---assembled to salute the late and legendary Sylvia Syms. The evening, hosted by one of Syms' closest confidants, the critic Rex Reed, was brassy, delivered wonderful anecdotes, and was ultimately very moving musically, much like Syms herself. A black and white photograph of Syms, accurately capturing her maternal warmth, hung high inside the Rose Theater at Jazz at Lincoln Center throughout the evening, which was formatted in two distinct segments. Act One was comprised of each performer taking to the stage alone to sing one of Syms' lesser known cabaret staples, or the songs which she "rescued" from obscurity such as those cut from golden age musicals. Act Two saw the performers again take on a Syms staple, but those which were more well-known hits and standards, displaying the full range of Syms' nightclub chops.
