Culture & Performing Arts
Austin is an undeniable hub of creativity. In 2015, Austin became the first (and only) city in the United States to receive a City of Media Arts designation from UNESCO. The honor underscores Austin’s reputation as an innovative global city at the intersection of art, music, film and digital technology. The city is home to a number of world-class museums, such as The Contemporary Austin and the Blanton Museum of Art, which houses the nation’s largest university-owned collection of artworks. Austin’s vibrant creative community also includes a diverse range of musicians, dancers, artists, actors, writers and filmmakers.
