Austin City Hall was designed to promote public participation and interaction with local government as well as engaging in Austin’s diverse cultural arts. The building provides several avenues for artistic expression through art, music and performance activities day and night. The energy of the building effortlessly flows into hubs of activity occurring simultaneously inside and outside.
Pockets of space on the plaza, atrium or conference rooms provide ideal intimate locations for small events like photo shoots, artist workshops, poetry readings, demonstrations and temporary exhibits.
Participants in larger events can flow inside, outside, up and down in City Hall moving from the outdoor performance stage, through the atrium, up and across the overlooking bridges and hallways and back down spilling out onto Second Street and around the plaza.
As a venue, Austin City Hall is always right in the middle of the action as part of Austin’s huge downtown cultural events like First Night, Art City Austin and SXSW.
