Austin glamour revisited 2
For Part 1 of this reworking of the Austin glamour topic, see post below.
Arts. During the 2000s, the city’s arts scene grew up. Austin always produced artists. It just didn’t have places to put them. Now, the Long Center for the Performing Arts gives a home to the indigenous symphony, opera, ballet and theater troupes, while the Blanton Museum of Art provides the University of Texas’ outstanding collections a dignified home. Hot spots like the Mexican American Cultural Center and Carver Museum and Cultural Center opened recently. Warehouse theaters and collective galleries spread everywhere, especially in East Austin (don’t miss the East Austin Studio Tour in November). Watch out for new digs for the deserving Austin Museum of Art and Zach Theatre in the next decade.
More to come …
