About the Business
Austin Creative Alliance (ACA) works to strengthen the creative sector in the region by advocating for cultural policy, marketing, and communication services. They provide direct services to 51 emerging art groups, 420 member organizations, and individuals across various disciplines.
ACA's NowPlayingAustin site and Austin Arts Minute on YNN bring events and activities of 783 organizations to 250,000 households weekly. In addition, ACA sponsored Austin's New Works Theatre Community which earned a $90,000 Mellon Foundation planning grant. Organizations like RudeMechs, FuseBox, and TheatreActionProject have all graduated from ACA's sponsorship program.
ACA also partners with Fractured Atlas to give cultural workers affordable health, liability, and teaching artist insurance. Moreover, they are working with Pew Charitable Trusts to bring their Cultural Data Project to Texas to serve artists, funders, and arts organizations.
Austin Creative Alliance is funded and supported in part with a grant from the Texas Commission on the Arts and the City of Austin through the Cultural Arts Division. This investment in the Arts is an investment in Austin's future. To learn more about what's happening in Austin, visit NowPlayingAustin.com.

- The Austin Creative Alliance (ACA) was established via the transformation of an existing arts service organization, Austin Circle of Theaters (ACOT), which had been operating since 1974. ACA is poised for growth and innovation, inspired by the community-led CreateAustin Plan which forged a pathway for invigorating Austin's "culture of creativity" and recommended establishing ACA as a top priority. ACA has already expanded its core services to better assist individuals and organizations in the creative sector, revamped its board, revised its internal policies and procedures, and hired a dynamic interim Executive Director to lead our next phase of development.
