The Doorways to the Future.

Doorways to the Future, is another public art project of the Museum Of Cultural Arts, Houston (MOCAH). The project was made possible through the vision of Principal Dan DeLeon and through the hard work and dedication of, Grant Coordinator, Carolyn Teas. In the spring of 2003 Principal DeLeon conceived the idea of creating a tile mosaic mural for the entrance hallway of Thomas A. Edison Middle School.
Ms. Teas was assigned the role of selecting an artist for the work and identifying the funds to execute the project. Six key funding sources were engaged, 21st Century Community Learning Grant, Greater Houston Inner City Games Inc., Harris County CASE, RGA Computer Systems Inc., John M. O'Quinn Foundation and Employment Training Centers. Reginald Adams, public artist and Executive Director of MOCAH, was selected as the artist to execute the job.
