LETTER: Thanks Austin for supporting the arts

Published 7:06 am Monday, October 26, 2009

On behalf of the Austin Artist Series I would like to thank the Austin community for their support as we wrap up another successful ticket campaign. As one of the largest and longest running artist series in the Midwest, we depend on the hard work of volunteers and the support of the community in order to fulfill our mission – to enrich the cultural life of our community by bringing in internationally renowned groups at a very reasonable price. My thanks to all those who volunteered their time and talents for this worthy cause. A special thank you goes to those who became patrons and sponsors. Your additional support is much appreciated.

This season promises to be one of our best. We have singer Robert Robinson on Oct. 12, jazz artist Tony DeSare on Nov. 21, The Czech Boychoir on Dec. 3, the New Shanghai Circus on Feb. 16, and the legendary cowboy band, Riders in the Sky, on April 13.

Again, thank you, Austin, for supporting the arts.
