The colors of McAllen’s bougainvillea are found in richly-hued seating and curtain materials while native Texas mesquite and pecan trees are celebrated in detailed mill work.

Adjustable acoustics can easily accommodate the variety of local cultural groups, touring music, Broadway performance, and cross-border road shows presented.

The rich, multi-layered heritage of the lower Rio Grande Valley inspires color palette and spatial sequencing of spaces in the center. The inspirations, including palm trees and the Indigo Bunting migratory bird, combine to make this a home for all people and cultures of Valley communities.

Adjacent to the McAllen Convention Center and nearby hotel developments, the McAllen Performing Arts Center is a destination in the valley and large parts of Northern Mexico.
