For the first time ever, the Long Center is partnering with the Austin Opera, Austin Symphony Orchestra, Austin Shakespeare, Ballet Austin, Conspirare, Pollyanna Theatre Company, Tapestry Dance Company, Umlauf Sculpture Garden & Museum and ZACH Theatre for the Central Austin Arts Block Party.

Ten of Austin’s best and brightest arts organizations will come together in an unprecedented joint effort celebrating more than 150 shows, concerts, exhibits and events through the 2015-16 season. Never before have so many of Austin’s leading arts organizations collaborated on this scale, inviting the public to preview upcoming productions, enjoy performances, a Kids’ Zone and exclusive tours as well as special deals and offers good for only one day.

RSVP at TheLongCenter.org for a fast-pass to get the all access lanyard required for entry. All visitors will have the chance to enter a Grand Prize Giveaway which includes tickets to dozens of performances in the upcoming seasons of all of the participating organizations, a nearly $15,000 value.
