Multicultural World Cafe 1

Help shape the future of our cultural arts spaces and museums! Join Austin Arts, Culture, Music, and Entertainment (AACME) for a Multicultural World Cafe at the Asian American Resource Center (AARC) on Monday, November 17 from 3 to 7pm. This event is FREE and open to the public. We are only using tickets to track expected attendance.

World Cafes are in-person open houses where you can share your input for AACME cultural arts facilities and museums. World Cafes are part of Phase 2 of The Creative Reset, a community effort to re-imagine how Austin invests in and supports arts, culture, and heritage.

What should you expect when you attend a World Cafe? This is an opportunity to talk with AACME staff about your experiences and visions for our cultural arts facilities and museums*. We will be providing materials, activities, tea and coffee stations, and light snacks. We will not have childcare available; however, we will have a craft station with children’s activities. We encourage you to visit with the AACME team for as long as you can; however, you are welcome to come and go at your convenience.
