Mission Statement
TIPS On Art is a unique civic-minded, arts-based, not-for-profit service organization dedicated to the synergy of expressive co-creation between the artist and the viewer in all mediums—visual, spoken and performing. Our goal is to bring people closer to the learning process of various art forms and make them available on a daily basis.
About This Cause
THE FACILITY VISION (we are very interested in joining forces with community partners who share this vision): TIPS On Art will be a multi-faceted/multi-functional facility approach to supporting and experiencing the arts and the Austin lifestyle so valued by our citizens … the new legacy is defined as: • An interactive, multi-disciplinary working art space, artist studios, living spaces and community exhibition spaces – with intent on being part of a “connected” program series of campuses that focus on the mentor/guild approach to technical learning of the fine arts and architectural arts • A permanent home for some of Austin’s established non-profit organizations • A community gathering space, business center and multi-media space • Temporary housing for visiting artists and industry related travelers • A unique, one-of-a-kind shopping experience & public sculpture gardens • A blend of locally owned fine cuisine, coffee, tea & juice and daily farmers market resources • A demonstration project for “green” and high-tech sustainability • A hub for health, wellness and balanced lifestyle options • A vital component in the emerging urban redevelopment of central Austin through promotion of locally based and small businesses • A vital tourism component with green hotel/lodging THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY: By looking at the social, artistic and architectural paradigms that continue and/or flourish in the current economy, we see a unique opportunity to provide an on-going economic vehicle that will thrive from diversity and offer up a new Austin icon. To appeal to a wide retail base, it will combine this arts concept with daily needs and desires such as food service, public gardens, lodging and retail shopping. The facility will represents an ongoing collaborative spirit by community leaders, volunteers and artisans bringing their talents to the table as a means of ensuring a true reflection of our city and the times while creating jobs and encouraging entrepreneurialism and tourism. ANNUAL HOLIDAY FAMILY ADOPTION COMMUNITY SERVICE PROGRAM: Each Holiday Season, TIPS On Art reaches out to a local human services organization to collaborate on bringing 1-3 families a very focused and special holiday experience. This year, our 2017 family comes to us through Foundation Communities. We have shared values in making sure our Holiday Adopted Family has a holiday experience that matters to them ... we strive to embrace their culture in every way. We also encourage creativity, creative skills and creative problem solving throughout the process. It is important to us to let these families know they have new friends they can count on. Beyond holiday requests, TIPS On Art rallys our constituents to meet the family's request list that will also includes non-holiday efforts that will take the family into the new year stronger and more prepared to be empowered to meet their goals. Some of these circumstances in the past have included things like rent support, vehicle repair, home repair, appliance repair/replacement, technology products/repair, education support, furniture and food. Each Holiday Family Adoption is tailored specifically to meet each family's needs. 2022 is our 30th year of our Annual Holiday Family Adoption Program. And we know we have made a difference when our families from previous years contact us to be involved in the current giving process. We had that happen this year, again, when our 2003 family proactively reached out and gave. This is the circle of community we are proud to be a part of and continue to build toward. We welcome corporate giving at any level so we can continue and grow in our own way too! Thank you ... Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays!
