Access to the Arts

We’re committed to ensuring that the arts are accessible to everyone — regardless of their income or background. We support schools and nonprofit partner agencies that serve Central Texas by offering complimentary tickets to outstanding performances and films.

We also arrange special events to help young people connect with artists through meet and greets, master classes, opportunities to observe sound checks, Q&As with performers, and more!

Any nonprofit organization with a mission to serve Central Texas is eligible to participate.

Thanks to a grant from the Tejemos Foundation, half of the sold-out auditorium at Professor Davis’ show was reserved for over 75 school and nonprofit partners.
