The AACA envision a vibrant and successful community enriched by diverse arts, entertainment and cultural activities. This vision will be accomplished by identifying, engaging and supporting the development and advancement of diverse arts, entertainment and cultural activities that benefit people in Austin and the surrounding area.

The Austin community will get the opportunity to vote on their favorite design at our Christmas in the City event on Friday, Nov. 25. The winner will be announced on Friday, Dec. 2.
