Ballet of the Masses

Soccer—or fútbol—is more than a sport; it is a global language. As Houston prepares to take the world stage as a host city for the FIFA 2026 World Cup, Sabine Street Studios invited local artists to join the celebration. For Ballet of the Masses, more than 40 Houston artists have transformed regulation-size soccer balls into unique works of art. Suspended from the ceiling at Sabine Street Studios' South Gallery, the soccer balls create a vibrant aerial installation, like a constellation of imaginative planets. The exhibition is juried by local sports commentator and "crack", Glenn Davis.
