ABOUT ARTISTS ON: Similar to the short-lived New York Times series, artists on will feature Austin-area artists teaching, performing, and talking about big topics that our society deals with every day. There is no way to extrapolate artistry from political and historical context, and we both recognize, and champion artists that are working within the intersections of social justice & art. We are kicking off this series in efforts to bring FREE arts education from local artists with historically marginalized backgrounds to the Austin-area. It is important that we #teachlivingartists, and that we drive home one point: education is for EVERYONE. We are proud that our first Artists On is in partnership with the City of Austin’s Office of Sustainability & Cultural Arts Division of the City of Austin Economic Development Department.
