What is a Community Amplifier?
We're partnering with the City of Austin's Cultural Arts Division and Economic Development Department to amplify the outreach about resources and funding opportunities available to artists!
We facilitate workshops and create resources with trusted organizations and professionals to offer a wide range of assistance. We’re here to share opportunities that empower you to learn, grow and succeed.

Our Mission as a Community Amplifier
At Almost Real Things we’ve spent the last 9 years organically growing our organization and tapping into the art community’s needs and desires.
As artists ourselves, we understand the struggles and gaps in knowledge when it comes to treating your passion as a small business. Everyday we talk to artists, community leaders, organizations and art appreciators to better understand the ecosystem and next steps to take towards sustainability.
