Austin Festivals

For Austin Museum Day’s 20th anniversary this Sunday, organizers are focusing on the future. 

Women make up half of music festivals’ attendees, yet only 5 to 19 percent of their performers are female. Women make up 51 percent of today’s visual artists, yet earn 81 cents to every male artist’s dollar. BABES FEST, an all women’s performance festival, attempts to combat these statistics.

Fête de la Musique may have begun in France, but it has since become popularized as World Music Day, and on June 15–17, Austin will join with cities across the globe to celebrate the art of music. 

Students, faculty, and community members gathered at LBJ lawn to celebrate the annual Holi festival, hosted by the Hindu Student's Association.
