    Feast of Sharing

    For over ten years, The Contemporary Austin has partnered with H-E-B for the annual Feast of Sharing event, which serves over 14,000 free meals to residents of Austin, Travis County, and surrounding communities. Activities include live entertainment and a children's area sponsored by the museum, featuring festive art-making activities.

    Stay tuned for details about Feast of Sharing 2021!
