Collaborations

The City of Austin Museums & Cultural Programs (MCP) initiates its programs in response to a community need. Non-profits, community groups and individuals may suggest a collaborative program that is relevant to MCP and Austin Parks & Recreations Department (PARD) mission, values, and audience. Collaborations are city-sponsored programs hosted by the MCP site and presented in tandem with the collaborator. All collaborations are to be offered to the public free of charge and collaborators “volunteer” their service at no cost to the department.
