I took the beginning wheel class. Coach was extremely patient and helpful. The entire class was enjoyable to be around. I will come back and do another class.

Love it. Amazing galleries filled with art and always free to get in. Step out of the heat and enjoy the AC looking at amazing works of art!

Really great venue! We were there for a performance, but we were able to look around at the amazing art exhibits before. It was not a huge, extravagant theater but was very clean and cozy. I'm so excited to see more performances there by the Horizon School of the Arts!

The LHUCA is an epicenter for arts and culture in West Texas. Because of one woman's drive to support the arts and Lubbock's response to fuel her passion, First Friday is now a regular attraction for hundreds and thousands of cultured Texans. Month by month LHUCA anchors the area that welcomes the Buddy Holly Center for the Performing Arts and Sciences and surround developments. Thank you, Louise Hopkins Underwood! Your kind spirit lives on in constant creativity and the legacy your family will continue for generations to come.

Nice gallery with local artists on display. Inside is the Firehouse theater for plays and musical performances. I even had a friend get married there. This is the center for the First Friday Art Trail that occurs the first friday of the month. Worth checking out if you like art.
