Arts & Culture
Our Priorities
Live music, public art and cultural heritage are what make downtown feel like Austin. Your investment puts Austin creativity where everyone can experience it, free and in public.
Programs Your Invesment Supports
LIVE! From Downtown, Texas
Free live music, right where you work. Lunchtime and after-work concerts in plazas, pocket parks, venues and courtyards across downtown keep the “Live Music Capital of the World” live downtown.
Your investment means more free live music in more places downtown.

East 6th Street Refresh
Reimagine this historic district as one of Austin's most vibrant 18-hour destinations.
Investment in East 6th Street can transform underutilized spaces into places of creativity, commerce and community through the installation of public art, welcoming storefronts and refreshed streetscapes.
The Foundation has also supported Writing on the Walls, which pays local artists to create downtown murals and ARTBOX mini murals, and the Mexican American Heritage Corridor.
