Come celebrate this year's participants of Grrl Action's year-round program with a presentation of the Grrls’ work. Everyone is invited!

The format is a little different this year. We invite you to take in visual images of the grrls’ art projects as they give a presentation on the process of developing, creating and performing their work this last year. Meet the amazing mentors who guided the grrls through these projects, and enjoy a cookie or three as we cheer the young artists on!

BECOME A SPONSOR!
The essence of the “new” Austin is found in its contradictions - our city’s chic sophistication is still marked by a laid-back attitude, our fascination with high tech will probably never exceed our passion for Barton Springs, and you can still wear your shorts to a five star restaurant. But while Austin is still a small town at heart, it has nevertheless grown into a very big city over the past two decades. As we celebrate our continued growth, we also face the challenge of retaining our cultural character and uniqueness – the reason many people have chosen to make Austin their home in the first place. By supporting Rude Mechs, you have the opportunity to help define the character of our city and make a significant impact on the cultural life of our community. The reality is the arts cannot survive without support from local businesses and corporations. In this climate of growing enthusiasm but also stark economic realities, we invite you to make an investment in local arts and artists to help preserve and deepen the character of Austin.

If you are interested in becoming a corporate sponsor, let's get you on board by June 1st! Just send an email to info@rudemechs.com and let us know you are interested!
