Mexic-Arte Museum is dedicated to providing space to artists and arts organizations. Space has been shared with many organizations and artists including the Texas Photographic Society, Texas Commission on the Arts for Artists in Residency interviews, International Women's Day Festival, Texas Fine Arts Literature, Zachary Scott theater, ACTV, Big State Productions, University of Texas Art Department, KTSB, Colores Theater Collective, Vortex Repertory Company, Texas Circuit, Austin Film Society, Austin Community College and many individual artists. Extended hours are available for special events. The organization produces programs serving Latinos as well as other groups, and people of all ages. Tours and other special programs are available for groups of children, senior citizens, university art groups, and downtown business people.
Artists are a special constituency, and visit the exhibitions frequently.
Mexic-Arte has involved organizations such as Comite Cinco de Mayo, made up of the five Parks and Recreation Board in South and East Austin, the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, the Hispanic Heritage Committee, the University of Texas Art Department, the Chicano Culture Committee from UT, SER Jobs for Progress, Youth Advocacy Groups, the Consulate of Mexico in Austin, the Diez y Seis Celebration Committee, Austin Independent School District, and many more in programming. Mexic-Arte serves over 100,000 per year through a combination of general attendance, public events and outreach programs. Another rapidly growing group is the elderly. The number of people in Travis County over 65 will almost quadruple by 2030. Our philosophy directly ties into the mission of the organization.
