Buddy Holly Hall Lubbock, on ceramic.

Each tile is finished by hand in our Knoxville studio. Artwork is slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, and rests beneath a thin glossy finish. The colour lives in the surface, not on top of it.

— a note from the studio

“A long limestone façade on Avenue Q in downtown Lubbock, opened in early 2020. Two halls inside: a 2,200-seat main theatre and a 425-seat studio. The building carries the name of the city's most famous son, who recorded ten of the songs that would outlive him before he turned twenty-two. On clear nights the marquee throws colour onto the sidewalk, and the Llano Estacado wind keeps the awnings honest. from the studio

— about Buddy Holly Hall Lubbock

The place, in three passes.

A little of what's known, in case you fall down the rabbit hole — or want to go see it yourself.

— the place

The Buddy Holly Hall of Performing Arts and Sciences sits at 1300 Mac Davis Lane in downtown Lubbock, Texas, on the western edge of the Llano Estacado at roughly 3,200 feet of elevation. The building opened in January 2020 after a roughly $159 million capital project led by the Lubbock Entertainment and Performing Arts Association. It carries two main venues: the 2,297-seat Helen DeVitt Jones Theater and the 425-seat Crickets Theater, alongside ballet studios and rehearsal space for Ballet Lubbock and Lubbock Independent School District programs.

— the stone

The hall was designed by Diamond Schmitt Architects of Toronto with Parkhill of Lubbock as architect of record, and built by Lee Lewis Construction. Its long west-facing façade is clad in cream and grey limestone, set against deep glazing that opens onto the lobby's grand stair. The Crickets Theater takes its name directly from Buddy Holly's band, formed in Lubbock in 1957; the lobby panels carry photographs from that two-year run between Holly's first Decca session and his death on February 3, 1959.

— informed by Diamond Schmitt Architects

— the year

The hall opened to the public on January 23, 2020, six weeks before the first COVID closures shut its doors; full programming resumed in 2021. The annual calendar now runs roughly 250 performances, mixing Broadway tours, Lubbock Symphony Orchestra concerts, Ballet Lubbock seasons, country and Americana headliners, and the city's Texas Tech graduation ceremonies. Most years the hall also anchors the Buddy Holly Birthday Bash week around September 7, the date of Holly's birth in 1936 across town on 6th Street.

— about the place

At 1300 Mac Davis Lane in downtown Lubbock, Texas, two blocks east of Avenue Q. It sits on the western edge of the Llano Estacado at about 3,200 feet of elevation, near Texas Tech University.

January 23, 2020, six weeks before the first COVID closures. Full programming resumed in 2021. The project was led by the Lubbock Entertainment and Performing Arts Association at a cost of roughly $159 million.

The Helen DeVitt Jones Theater seats 2,297 for Broadway tours, orchestra concerts, and headline acts. A smaller 425-seat Crickets Theater hosts chamber programs, recitals, and Ballet Lubbock performances.

Diamond Schmitt Architects of Toronto led the design, with Parkhill of Lubbock as architect of record and Lee Lewis Construction as builder. The exterior is cream and grey limestone with deep glazing along the western lobby wall.

Buddy Holly was born in Lubbock on September 7, 1936, and recorded his run of Crickets songs in town between 1957 and 1959. The smaller theatre carries the Crickets name; the building serves as the city's main performing arts home.

Touring Broadway productions, the Lubbock Symphony Orchestra, Ballet Lubbock, country and Americana headliners, and Texas Tech University ceremonies. The annual calendar runs roughly 250 performances and graduations.

— about the piece in your home

Often, yes. The hall is the new civic landmark of downtown Lubbock and the city's clearest tribute to Buddy Holly. A Small or Medium with a handwritten note from the studio carries well as a hometown gift.

The cream limestone tones and night-marquee colour sit well in Texas-modern, Mid-century modern, and Music-room interiors. It pairs easily with walnut, brass, and warm leather over cool industrial finishes.

Yes. Music rooms and home listening corners are leaning into specific named venues over generic instrument silhouettes. A hall with a real history reads more grounded than abstract notes and suits both vinyl rooms and studios.

A single Large carries a standard sofa; for a longer wall, a 4-tile or 9-tile Mural extends the façade across the room. A Medium suits a console, an upright piano, or above a turntable.

Yes. Choose the Dura Satin or Matte finish for any room with steam or splash. The colour lives in the surface and will not lift or yellow over the years.

A soft microfibre cloth and water. Nothing more. Skip ammonia and abrasive sponges; they are not needed and can dull the surface over years of use.

Yes. Every WenderVista piece is original to our single studio in Knoxville, Tennessee. We do not license images in or out.
