Few cities have the variety of arts and entertainment that Houston does. For example, Houston has the third largest population of working artists in the country. Of its more than 200 cultural, visual and performing arts organizations, 90-plus are devoted to multicultural and minority arts. It is one of the few U.S. cities with permanent ballet, opera, symphony and theater companies performing year-round. The Houston story is a story of entrepreneurs and visions. The same drive that spurred the development of the energy industry-and is overseeing its transformation today-has given rise to global companies that are leading the development of technology and services in a variety of industries-computers, software, construction, travel, insurance, food. The city is corporate headquarters for 15 companies listed on the 1998 Fortune 500. And, 11 of that magazine's 100 fastest growing companies are based here. The growth, development and success of Houston is based on education. Houstonians are more likely to have completed four years of college than the rest of the adult U.S. population.
