It’s no secret that the art scene in Austin is one of the best (we have an entire blog series dedicated to it now, if you hasn’t noticed). But what if we made it even better? Your wish is our command- we’re about to.

For the first time ever, the Long Center is partnering with the Austin Opera, Austin Symphony Orchestra, Austin Shakespeare, Ballet Austin, Conspirare, Pollyanna Theatre Company, Tapestry Dance Company, Umlauf Scultpure Garden & Museum, and ZACH Theatre for the Central Austin Arts Block Party.

Ten of Austin’s best and brightest arts organizations invite you to an unprecedented joint effort celebrating more than 150 shows, concerts, exhibits and events through the 2015-16 season. Never before have so many of Austin’s leading arts organizations collaborated on this scale, inviting the public to preview upcoming productions, enjoy performances, a Kids’ Zone, and exclusive tours as well as special deals and offers good for only one day!

Visitors will be treated to previews from the upcoming seasons of Austin’s premier performing arts organizations.
Live performances will take place throughout the day in the Rollins Studio Theatre and Michael & Susan Dell Hall
Back stage tours will give an up close and personal experience of what goes into staging a performance at The Long Center.
Staff from each organization will be on hand to answer questions book subscriptions, and single tickets.
Visitors can enjoy live music from 1-2:30 p.m. on ZACH’s campus in advance of the final performance of Sophisticated Ladies.
Following the block party guests are encouraged to attend the free Hartman Foundation concert in the park presented by Austin Symphony Orchestra.

And we haven’t even told you the part, yet. This FREE event is open to the public and offers some of the year’s very best discount ticket opportunities. AND, all visitors will have the chance to enter a Grand Prize Giveaway which includes tickets to dozens of performances in the upcoming seasons of all of our participating organizations, a nearly $15,=000 value!
