Support a vibrant arts and culture community

Arts and culture bring a community together like nothing else can. Your gift will help support a spectrum of community-enriching destinations across UT, including the Blanton Museum of Art, the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center, the Harry Ransom Center, the Landmarks Public Art Program and Texas Performing Arts. 

These world-class UT organizations each enrich the community at large because they're open to the public year-round, they broaden the educational experience for local K-12 students and they enhance UT students' on-campus experience.

"My experience at the Blanton Museum of Art was truly eye-opening. Art, in its essence, is about putting yourself in other people's shoes and seeing the world from their perspective. Through...my experience at the museum, I am beginning to become a more empathetic person."
