A New Arts Venue
We are committed to raising funds to support the creation of a multi-use regional performing arts and entertainment space in Round Rock. We will also focus efforts on ensuring the arts space is affordable and accessible to arts organizations of all sizes and budgets.
The City of Round Rock created an Arts Master Plan in 2011, in recognition of the fact that arts and culture are important to Round Rock’s quality of life, inspires economic investment, and create a greater sense of place.
