Rental Spaces at the Hobby Center

About Founders Club

Panoramic views of downtown Houston and ornate fixtures define the Founders Club, a private room on the mezzanine level of Sarofim Hall.  Perfect for pre-show receptions, corporate dinners or off-site meetings and workshops, this 2,850 square foot space is an ideal and flexible setting.  The Founders Club has hosted events ranging from political debates to weddings, art installations and much more.

The room offers direct, private elevator access, dedicated restrooms and catering service space, and can be configured in a multitude of ways.

The Founders Club can also be divided into four smaller areas, ideal for creating a more personal setting for smaller groups, or breaking up your event into multiple facets.
