2025 Texas Arts Advocacy Summit
February 5 Austin, TX
We envision a Texas where everyone sees the arts as essential to our lives; but it all starts with us.
Thank You Everyone!
Thank you to all who joined us and other passionate arts leaders from across the state, as we gathered to inspire, educate, and celebrate arts advocates here in Texas! The 89th Texas Legislative Session is around the corner, and this was a pivotal opportunity to to learn from experts in the field, hone our skills, and honor our champions for the arts. Stay engaged, and be part of the movement the arts sector is leading to ensure that every Texas community has the robust, thriving arts ecosystem it deserves!
We were thrilled to present a day packed with the latest insights and inspiration from our partners, members and other industry leaders:
