Join the Austin Creative Alliance at
Gourmond’s on January 30th from 6pm-8pm for a free talk to learn about Austin’s Emerging Arts Leaders re-launch. Jesus Pantel the former Co-Chair will be our special guest leading the discussion. Born as a suggestion from a creative conversation, the idea behind Austin’s Emerging Arts Leaders is to let artists from different disciplines connect with each other. The Austin Emerging Arts Leaders is part of the American’s for the Arts Emerging Leaders Network. Their
site is a resource for artists and arts administrators.
