Support the Visual Arts Center
Sustaining the Arts
Philanthropic donations sustain Visual Arts Center activities, from the annual artist-in-residence program, to student exhibitions, to unique programs and events that serve the Austin arts community, all of which provide students with hands-on educational experiences. Gifts at all levels are appreciated—from vital investment in operating expenses, to annual underwriting support, to special programmatic support through the Visual Arts Center Endowment.
Select naming opportunities are also available for a number of exhibition spaces within the Visual Arts Center. Partnerships with local businesses and organizations are always welcome to support public programming and special events.
