The Contemporary Austin: Jones Center

Art in the heart of downtown

DIG13995_063

The Contemporary Austin is the result of a very complex relationship between the former Austin Museum of Art and the Arthouse at the Jones Center.

To make a long story short, the two joined in 2013, renaming themselves “The Contemporary Austin,” with two distinct locations: Jones Center in the heart of downtown and Laguna Gloria on Lake Austin.

The Jones Center, the city’s modern art museum, exemplifies Austin’s eclectic, forward-thinking creative spirit. The exciting “Museum Without Walls” program extends exhibitions into the community.

Check website for details of the robust events schedule.
