Dear Artist
A/TRC is excited to invite you to the Artist Convocation. The Convocation is a great opportunity for artists to come together with other to network, create work and attend discipline-based workshops with some of your favorite Austin artists. In addition panel discussions will give you an opportunity to talk with others about issues facing artists living and working in Austin.
