Reginald Adams

Reginald C. Adams is a public artist, arts educator, and community developer. He is best known for his award winning public art projects, which are strategically located in some of Houston’s most historic and under-served neighborhoods. His creativity and approach to his artwork is inspired by travels to more than 40 countries around the globe. Adams fundamentally believes that everyone deserves access and exposure to the arts and strives to engage the general public in the design and production of his public art projects.

Over the past 30 years Reginald has facilitated the design, coordination and production over 350 public art projects and sacred spaces across the Houston area and abroad. These projects have been co-created with the involvement of over 50,000 area youth volunteers, 100's of artists and thousands of community stakeholders.

The designs, motifs and imagery, captured in his work, is a direct reflection of the communities and public spaces that the work is designed to serve. This expands the style, social context and technique for the execution of Reginald's work into broad and diverse territory. Each project is unique unto the community itself. By placing the public in public art, Reginald works to represent the culture, heritage, history and social context of communities and shared public spaces. His intention is to transform these ordinary environments into cultural and artistic destinations.

In addition to his work as a public artist, annually, Reginald organizes cultural and educational based international tours to foreign countries where he leads teams of Houston area high school students in the design and production of labyrinths and sacred spaces in these countries.
