Construction Begins on $15 Million Arts and Cultural Center in Austin’s Mueller District

Creative Action broke ground Nov. 10 on its $15 million Community Arts Collaborative in Austin's Mueller development, a two-story, 25,000-square-foot building that will serve as the nonprofit's headquarters and a shared home for other arts education groups.

The building sits on a half-acre site near Philomena and Tilley streets, north of Marshall Middle School and next to Austin Film Studios. The ground floor will hold about 15,000 square feet of space for creative activity, rehearsal and performance, with about 10,000 square feet upstairs for programs and administration. Creative Action obtained the parcel through a public-private partnership with the City of Austin.
