We Need Your Help
The Contemporary Austin remains committed to inspiring our community through experiences with contemporary art. While we have reopened both of our sites to visitors, we also continue to develop virtual programming to keep Austin inspired, organize virtual art classes for adults and kids through our Art School, and build robust art-based curricula and resources for educators and the general public—all while maintaining our 14-acre sculpture park and caring for the artwork at the Jones Center on Congress Avenue. Please consider supporting our efforts if you are able.
