On November 1st these two non-profit organizations have merged together. The Austin Museum of Art (AMOA) and Arthouse in the new year get a face lift with new branding and a new name. I will be excited to see who does their identity and environmental design.
As per the press release, " With a strong vote of confidence, both boards approved the merger, with a primary goal to exhibit and program modern and contemporary art for the citizens of Austin, Texas, and far beyond. With an annual operating budget of $3.2 million and zero debt, combining the two organizations will save more than $1 million in operational costs in the first year alone. "
Membership benefits will be better than ever and current members will be invited to both Arthouse and AMOA events and receive discounts on art classes.
The current exhibit is called Anxiety in Photography. September 10- December 30, 2011
