Prosper XO presents Building the Stage: What It Takes to Sustain Local Music & Art Spaces
Building the Stage: What It Takes to Sustain Local Music & Art Spaces
📅 Wednesday, March 4th | 6–8:30pm PM
📍 Capital Factory – ACL Room, 16th Floor
Austin’s music venues are more than rooms with stages.
They are cultural infrastructure. They are risk-takers. They are community anchors.
This Prosper XO Town Hall centers a healthy, forward-thinking conversation about what it truly takes to sustain local music and art spaces in today’s economic climate.
Featuring:
Maggie Lea & Tamara Hoover
Founders & Co-Owners, Cheer Up Charlies
Cultural Advocates & Community Leaders
Hosted by:
Lauren Bruno & Prosper XO
Together, we’ll explore:
• The real economics of running independent venues
• The pressures facing local music & art spaces
• Community responsibility & shared sustainability
• What long-term cultural infrastructure could look like in Austin
This is a healthy, solutions-oriented conversation about how we protect and strengthen the spaces that hold our culture.
Expect networking, food, drinks, special guests, and a room full of artists, venue leaders, organizers, and creatives invested in Austin’s future.
This event is free and open to the public.
Because when artists prosper, culture thrives.
