Arts InSight discovers the Funnel Tunnel, a 180 foot long temporary civic art sculpture by Houston-based artist Patrick Renner made of steel and reclaimed wood that snakes down the Montrose Boulevard esplanade opposite Art League Houston (ALH). Commissioned by ALH, the sculpture reflects the creative people and businesses in the Montrose area, and is the first of its kind in Houston! This video by HoustonPBS provides an overview of the work of art as described by the artist, Patrick Renner.

Funnel Tunnel was recognized by Americans for the Arts Public Art Network (PAN) Year in Review which annually recognizes outstanding public art projects that represent the most compelling work for the year from across the country.
