Our goal is to strip away geographic barriers by partnering with cultural organizations and property owners across Central Texas—bringing robust, community-rooted programming to where people already are. We know traveling across the city can be time-consuming and expensive, especially as Austin continues to grow and transportation remains a challenge. That’s why, instead of relying on a single, centralized location, we’re embracing a decentralized model that meets people where they live, work, and create.
This approach isn’t just practical—it reflects the new normal. Access to the arts shouldn’t be confined to one neighborhood or building. By distributing our programs across multiple spaces and communities, we’re breaking down traditional gatekeeping structures and creating a more equitable model for media arts access. It allows us to collaborate directly with local partners, activate spaces, and remain nimble in an ever-changing cultural and economic landscape.
