The mission of the East Austin Creative Coalition is to support and sustain viable and visible African American cultural production in a way that facilitates the continued long-term viability and preservation of the African American arts and culture/creative professional community of Central East Austin, currently known as African American Cultural Heritage District.

We envision a vibrant and inclusive East Austin cultural heritage district that is respectful of our African American cultural history, sustains current development and expansion efforts, and ensures our cultural and creative heritage for future generations.
