Capitol View Arts : About Our Name

If you open the side door of Austin’s Historic Victory Grill, you’ll see a perfect, beautiful view of the Texas Capitol. We have often wondered how many performers and patrons of the Victory Grill throughout the years have gazed at this spectacular site and had thoughts of equality, freedom, and change.

We thought the representation of this Capitol view was befitting to an organization whose mission is not only to improve the lives of artists and residents on the east side, but also to offer the Austin community a chance to preserve past history and experience new and exciting transformations as our city continues to grow.

Representation

For us, it is important to empower artist’s voices. Everyone put in their best efforts to paint this communal mural and create their own artwork to express their unique perspective.

Equality

Through this project we were able to pay all artists of color who participated in this installation to begin the reestablishment of equity in East Austin and Austin at large.

Moving Forward

From here we plan to ensure the budding equity by building connections and developing new platforms for artists of colors.

Secure Way To Buy Art and Support Local Artists

Capitol View Arts now offers a new and secure way for anyone to support established and rising Austin artists of color.
