Additional benefits include marketing resources, assistance with event planning, and additional support from PARD’s arts staff.  

Current participating organizations include Lannaya Drum & Dance, Austin Shakespeare, Austin Dance Ensemble, A’lante Flamenco, Escandalo Theater, Glass Half Full Theater, Ariel Dance Theater, Austin Dance India and Teatro Vivo, among others.
