Art Spark Texas

We are asking for your support for our annual Artist of the Year Awards. Art Spark Texas annually honors artists in the fields of visual art, dance, music, performance, craft, media and writing. Each year, the awards are given to Texas artists who embody the spirit and vision of Art Spark Texas, and who challenge the perceptions of how people contribute by demonstrating artistic excellence or leading the way as a community catalyst for change. The Artist of the Year Awards celebrate, and encourage, the abundance of creativity in our community. Please consider helping to support the award recipients through your contribution today. Thank you!

Established in 1998, Art Spark Texas is a not-for-profit organization located in Austin, with the vision to foster cultural equity across all sectors of society. We believe that everyone’s life is enriched by the inclusion of multiple voices, and we accomplish this by ensuring that people with disabilities from Texas’ diverse cultural and ethnic communities are represented. 

By building a legacy of high-quality, inclusive, accessible, culturally diverse, community-based opportunities,  we have created positive change in the lives of over 95,000 Texans with and without disabilities. For the general public, our awareness and artist development projects have provided a window to groundbreaking performances and artwork by individuals with disabilities in dance, theater, visual art and music.
