East Austin Creative Coalition

Our Mission
The mission of the East Austin Creative Coalition is to support and sustain viable and visible African American cultural production in a way that facilitates the continued long-term viability and preservation of the African American arts and culture/creative professional community of Central East Austin, currently known as the African American Cultural Heritage District.

Our Vision
We envision a vibrant and inclusive East Austin cultural heritage district that is respectful of our African American cultural history, sustains current development and expansion efforts, and ensures our cultural and creative heritage for future generations.

East Austin Creative Coalition is the partner organization of DiverseArts Culture Works, Kenny Dorham’s Dorham’s Backyard and other related projects with the mission to produce cultural content in the East Austin African American Cultural Heritage District.
