Our web site has been listed opportunities that are available for artists from All disciplines ranging from opportunities for Fine Artists, Video Artists, Musicians, Writers, Actors, etc.


We want to be a resource for all artists that call Austin and its vicinity home. We will also be offering free classes in acting for seniors in 2007, other classes will soon follow.
