📣Hey! This is important!

For decades, Bruce has talked about “The Big We”. The idea that our creative community is stronger when we come together, not apart. Now, that idea is becoming real and it couldn't be a better time.

This week, The Big We: A Creative Convening is bringing together artists, musicians, performers, and cultural leaders from across Austin to connect, share, and build what comes next- together. It’s a working session for the future of Austin’s creative ecosystem.

If you care about art, music, and the creative spirit of this city then this is worth your time.

🗓 March 27 (12–9PM) + March 28 (9AM–12PM)
📍 Asian American Resource Center
🎟 Free (pre-registration required)

Let’s show up for each other.
Let’s build what’s next.
Better together.

Congratulations to for Armadillo Plays with Ball ✨ This playful welded-steel sculpture captured hearts all season, celebrating curiosity, craftsmanship, and the unmistakable spirit of our favorite armored creature.

Apologies for the delay in sharing the news — we were deep in the joyful whirlwind of wrapping up our 50th season.

Thank you to every artist who participated and every guest who voted and showed so much love for these wildly creative armadillos. This project was a true celebration of the Armadillo family and the community that keeps this tradition alive.
