Throughout the day, hear from featured local media artists Aira McGilber, p1nkstar, Tiffany Smith, and Virginia L. Montgomery on what it’s like to create and present work in Austin and beyond. Engage with nonprofit leaders in short panels and conversations, discover new creative opportunities, and meet the UNESCO Austin team working behind the scenes to elevate our city’s global Media Arts designation.
