I've walked past the Tsai Performance Center in the College of Arts and Sciences building numerous times, but until today I hadn't realized how empty the spaces above the entrance doors were. Just looking at this marble entrance you can't tell how many fantastic concerts and performances are hosted in this theater; the only way for you to see what is happening is to read the tiny pin up letters on that black board hung between the doors.
Those four huge empty spaces above each of the double doors would be great places for performance themed sculptures. I was thinking one for each type of event hosted: orchestral music, band music, dance, and public speaking.
Or maybe just musically themed installments, like sculptures of a cello, a piano, a flute, and a trumpet with "music" coming out of them in the form of notes.
Another idea could be 4 continuous pieces that are simply a line from a famous piece with the sizes of the staff changing and maybe curving to make it interesting.

I also think that there could be a much better way to display what performances are happening than that little board. Maybe a TV or an LED screen would be more effective in making sure people know what events are coming up.
Overall, I think this space could really be enhanced by some kind of artistic installment that would represent the kinds of performances that happen in there every week.
