Last, but certainly not least.. An extra special THANK YOU to our incredible staff and board! ❤️

While the festival may only be two days, it takes months of planning, problem-solving, and hard work to make it happen. Our staff and board work year-round to bring festival to life, from the big picture to all the little details that make the weekend special.

We’re so grateful for the time, creativity, and heart you put into this festival and into our community all year long.

Festival wouldn’t happen without you. Thank you for everything you do! 🎨

A HUGE thank you to our incredible sponsors and donors! ❤️

This festival wouldn’t be possible without the businesses, organizations, and individuals who believe in the arts and choose to support them right here in our community. Whether you gave a little or a lot, every contribution helped bring artists to Austin, create opportunities, and keep this festival free and accessible to everyone.

We are so grateful for every single person who invested in the Austin ArtWorks Festival and helped make this year’s festival such a success.

Thank you for believing in the arts, supporting local artists, and helping make festival happen! 🎨
