I wanted to send a BIG TEXAS thank you to friends sharing our Amplify Austin social media posts ramping up to Amplify Austin giving day on February 28-March 1. Please continue to encourage friends and family to follow and like our page @vsatexas on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. It makes a difference and helps us amplify our message and share our donation page.
Art Spark Texas continues to build safe, inclusive, and accessible arts-related programs for individuals with diverse abilities because of financial support from our one-time and recurring monthly donors, volunteers, board members, and grant partners. We appreciate the love and support and want to share our mission with a larger audience. Participating in community giving days like #GivingTuesday and #AmplifyAustin helps Art Spark Texas increase awareness, attract new participation, and donations.
