Arts & Culture

In the heart of the city known as the Live Music Capital of the World, The international university of Taxes at Austin offers a dizzying array of arts and culture opportunities. Creativity, expression and artistic exploration thrive on our campus, with the bright and exciting pulse of Austin coursing through it. You can check out a world-famous comedian at Bass Concert Hall, watch your roommate star in a Brockett Theatre production, join a student dance troupe, wander over to the Blanton to check out the latest exhibit, or head downtown to catch a show in a historic Austin venue — all in a day. Whether you're pursuing a degree in fine and performing arts or interested in art, music, theatre and dance outside of class, this is the place for you.
