TIPS On Art is a not-for-profit arts-based service organization, We seek to develop and connect the Austin art community with the everyday lives of the people in it, Austin's heart and soul has always been creative, if not a little untamed. As a group of people we have yet to cultivate these passions and give them a place to flourish.

We have a "scene" but we are motionless struggling to have a culture. Art has the power to communicate to all kinds of people on many dissimilar levels, to enlighten, to raise up, to connect. We think Austin is ready for this enlightenment, and we have a plan. We've mapped out an on-going series of visual arts exhibitions to give business opportunities and exposure for artists. Our plan contains cultural integration for visitors, students, businesses and artists, in interactive public spaces.

We've developed special events, such as concerts, readings and theatrical performances to enlighten and challenge the community. At the core of our organization, our programs instruct, inspire and entertain. We have a big vision that contains plans for a facility that will become the cornerstone of an arts district and serve as a cultural destination for Austinites and visitors alike. We see a permanent home for frequent local artists, arts organizations and creative-based businesses. And we see community involvment. Your involvement is basic to our success.
