Top 5 Ways to Embrace Your Inner Artist
 - Museums and galleries – Focus of Austin museums includes priceless art, children’s education, digital art, Texas history, nature, and much more. The city even hosts a free museum day each year to encourage the rediscovery of Austin’s arts.
- Eclectic neighborhoods – Areas such as South Congress, Hyde Park, The Drag, and South Lamar are living testaments to the arts. The ads, homes, businesses, and people provide an ever-changing kaleidoscope of attention-grabbing colors and shapes.
- Performing arts centers – Theater, music, and dance are housed in the UT Performing Arts Center and the Dougherty Arts Center, where cultural events take place year-round. Along, check out the new Long Center along Town Lake.
- Creativity/art classes – Museums in town offer classes teaching the fine arts, or teaching how to create your own art with paint, clay, film, flowers, or charcoal. Study the classics or contemporary art, and release your inner artist.
- Local artists’ booths – Every festival and event in Austin includes homegrown artists, whether their craft is painting, film, photography, or music. Visit First Thursdays on S. Congress, the Farmer’s Market, and celebrations like SXSW and the Old Pecan Street Festival.
