Take a journey...
Welcome the discovery, diversity, and presentation of creativity with us as we find new and highlight what’s already here. This is the place where bleeding-edge musical artists meet steadfast performing arts, and where internationally-renowned scholars, authors, and voices meet family night. This is where curiosity is live.
The Drop-In is Back!
Inspired by Austin’s love of outdoor jams, we’re bringing back this free outdoor concert series May 26-August 11, driven by Austin Subaru, and with select nights programmed by Black Fret. We’ll provide the tunes, the drinks, and the view. You bring the energy, and we’ll vibe all summer long on the Hartman Concert Lawn.
Tickets for The Drop-In are FREE and can be reserved the Monday before every show.
Leave us your info and we’ll make sure you’re the first to receive the RSVP link.
Be on the lookOUT
If there’s one thing Austin knows, it’s that extraordinary music needs extraordinary listeners. So, we’re gathering audiophiles from across the city to experience the vibes, the sounds, and the feels of summer before they’re gone. With an enthralling lineup of artists whose music bends and blends “genre” as we know it, lookOUT Fest on September 3rd is a moment when we can be sure that the air is warm, the water is cool, and the colors are brilliant. Your ears will thank you.
