Cultural Trust Advisory Committee
To support acquisition and preservation of cultural spaces within Austin.
Mayor and Council provided direction to align the development of AEDC with the intent and creation of an “Austin Cultural Trust” through Resolutions 20180215-082 and 20190808-072. To ensure community input and transparency, AEDC has established the Cultural Trust Advisory Committee (CTAC). CTAC's membership is open to those without a conflict of interest in funding, and you can apply below. CTAC members can also apply to be on the evaluation committee that will partner with staff to support evaluation of the Cultural Trust RFP responses. AEDC will ultimately select the evaluation committee members from those applications that will join staff.
Apply to be on the Advisory Committee.
Membership is open to anyone from the Austin arts, cultural and music community that does not intend to apply for dollars or have a conflict of interest from the work of the cultural trust. Members typically meet at noon at least once per month to provide feedback and input to the AEDC on the needs of the creative community. Please note that this is an open submission process, but if the current group exceeds 20 persons, you may be placed on a waitlist for the next opening.
