About VISION:8291

In collaboration with SXSW, and other partners, this vision emphasizes using artistic, entrepreneurial, and cultural assets within the Austin BIPOC community to invest in and develop the city equitably.

By developing BIPOC creatives and organizations, it is our belief that a hidden cultural and artistic jewel will be rediscovered, new pathways to economic and community growth will be paved, and a previously buried economic engine for the city will be unlocked.
