Imagine Art is a Christian ministry, a 501c3 nonprofit, established in 1996. The Imagine Art community positions artists with disabilities to be creative placemakers and leaders. We operate creative spaces where artists are engaged as makers, leaders and catalysts for change. We are a diverse community of artists with and without disabilities with a growing number of non-artists who are joining our community. Our core services are anchored in the arts. We are serving the needs of artists with disabilities by offering high caliber art services, which attract non-disabled artists. The result is an inclusive, creative community that demonstrates the power of creative place for transformation and change. We creatively leverage disability related resources (such as day habilitation, Medicaid long term care and pre-vocational dollars) to demonstrate a new model of service delivery that empowers people with disabilities.

Our artists are being transformed with vision and purpose.  We are positioning the artists in our community to be deployed as catalyst for systems change. We recognize the power of arts for cross sector impact - including, long-term care, day habilitation and vocational programming, affordable and supported housing, peer support and food security.

a fundraiser for Imagine Art

Imagine Art announces an annual open call for art celebrating the whimsical life of Louis Wain, an artist who lived in England in the 1860's and who created a culture celebrating the cat. Wain lived with a disability and experienced life in an institution. Imagine Art invites any artist to submit a work of art celebrating "the cat". Anything goes - any media, any surface, any size, style or format. Artists may apply using the CAT CALL entry form. This is a fundraiser and we will split the proceeds with our artists 50/50, with the option of donation by the artist. Contact Amy for details at amy@imagineart.net

Art Spark Texas challenges perceptions of how people contribute by creating an arts-inspired, inclusive community of individuals with diverse abilities.

Established in 1996, with the vision to foster equity across all cultural sectors of society, we believe that arts experiences enhance the skills, confidence and quality of life for all people, and our goal is to ensure that these experiences are fully accessible, welcoming, engaging and respectful. Everyone’s life is enriched by the inclusion of multiple voices. We accomplish this by ensuring that people with disabilities across all cultural and ethnic communities are represented in our programs and services.

Participation in vibrant, creative activities is important to all people. But people with disabilities report they are less likely to participate than their non-disabled peers because of physical and attitudinal barriers. All programs by Art Spark Texas address these barriers head on. Participants report that one of the greatest benefits is the opportunity for social and professional networking in a supportive environment. We also provide non-disabled individuals and caregivers a vehicle to ‘walk in someone else’s shoes’ for a little while to gain insight and empathy so important in today’s world.

Recognizing that every person has a voice that deserves to be heard, we offer programs that enable educational and career success, enhance personal growth, provide support and training to the public, and offer individuals of all ages access to the creative work of people with diverse abilities. We reach individuals who have difficulty leaving their homes, older adults who are isolated and alone, veterans and their family members, students with Autism and other developmental disabilities, theater-goers who are blind and many more individuals who may be underrepresented or overlooked.

By building a legacy of high quality, inclusive arts-based programming, we have served over 95,000 Texans with and without disabilities and have created positive change through accessible, culturally diverse, community-based opportunities, classes and workshops. Additionally, we are proud to produce and promote groundbreaking performance and artwork by individuals with disabilities in dance, theater, media, art and music.

Lifelong Improvement through Fitness and Education

Physical activity is a crucial part of a healthy, happy, and independent life. But nearly half of all adult Americans living with disability do not have aerobic physical activity, which translates to being three times more likely to have heart disease, stroke, diabetes, or cancer. Physical activity is also important for mental and emotional well-being, offering a chance to focus on ability rather than disability.

Within Zilker Park's 358 acres lies one of the crown jewels of Austin - Barton Springs Pool. The pool itself measures three acres in size, and is fed from underground springs with an average temperature of 68-70 degrees, ideal for year-round swimming. Over the years, Barton Springs Pool has drawn people from all walks of life, from legislators who have concocted state laws there to free-spirited, topless sunbathers who turned heads in the 1970s. Robert Redford learned to swim at the pool when he was five years old while visiting family in Austin.

Today, Barton Springs still attracts a diverse crowd of people and has seen record setting numbers of visitors nearing 800,000 in recent years.

The Springs serves as home to the endangered Barton Springs Salamander, and is listed as a federally protected habitat. Depths of the pool range from 0' to 18' with surrounding grassy areas for patrons to lounge upon. Adjacent to the pool bathhouse is Splash!, an educational exhibit where patrons can learn about the history and biology of Barton Springs and the Edwards Aquifer which feeds it.

General Information

As The University of Texas continues at the forefront of the college football landscape, Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium at Campbell-Williams Field remains a state-of-the-art facility.

The stadium, which is in its 92nd season of operation, has continually gone through upgrades and renovations to enhance the fan and student-athlete experience.

After the 2012 season, Texas Athletics started a waterproofing and bleacher replacement project to the lower east and west grandstands. Damaged concrete was repaired, then sealed and painted, and new bleachers and chairbacks were installed. Handrails, portals and field level walls on both sides of the lower level were also given a fresh coat of paint. The improvements not only beautify the stadium and improve the fan experience, but also help to preserve the revered structure.

Installation of a new FieldTurf playing surface was completed in the spring of 2013, providing a state-of-the art surface that not only holds up to challenging weather conditions, but also allows the stadium to be a multi-use facility.

The Red McCombs Red Zone Sports Medicine & Strength Training Project, located in the lower levels of the north end zone was completed in the summer of 2013. The two-floor, 32,448 square-foot project includes a state of the art sports medicine facility on the upper floor, and a strength training complex on the lower floor. Amenities include a hydrotherapy pool, two plunge pools, golf putting and simulator area, a 40-yard acceleration track, a nutrition area and student-athlete/staff locker rooms.

In May of 2012, the University's athletics offices were moved from Bellmont Hall on the west side of the stadium to the north end zone's Walter W. Fondren III Athletics Leadership Center. The move not only created new space for academics in Bellmont Hall, but also consolidated the various athletics departments into a modern office-space facility. Athletics department offices now housed in the beautiful, 53,812 square-foot venue include the men's and women's athletics directors, men's and women's basketball coaches and administration, the T-Association, the Longhorn Foundation, Business/Travel, Human Resources, Events, Trademark & Licensing, Communications and Athletics IT.

The Texas locker room underwent renovations for the 2011 season, featuring 135 new wide-space lockers connected to a state-of-the art exhaust system. Additions also included a nutrition bar, a lounge area with gaming stations, a 72-inch LED screen in the center of room along with five other LED screens throughout the area, and a new sound system and speakers.

In 2009, south end zone seating was upgraded and expanded, increasing the stadium to its current capacity of 100,119, making it the seventh-largest collegiate stadium in the country and the largest in the Southwest. In addition, renovations were completed on the Moncrief-Neuhaus Athletic Center that provided a new football academic center approximately three times the size of the previous area, along with a new indoor practice area, defensive meeting room, hall of fame and a newly-designed facility entrance.

In 2008, renovations to the north end zone, named the Red McCombs Red Zone, were completed with the addition of an upper deck, approximately 2,100 club seats and 47 suites. That end of the stadium also includes a new academic center for UT athletics, a war memorial plaza and a food court.

Including the 2007 renovations to the lower deck of the north end zone, the project added a total of approximately 9,000 additional seats, raising capacity to 94,113 for the 2008 season.

Two major upgrades were made for the 2006 season, including a new video board and temporary bleacher seating in the south end zone, which expanded the stadium's capacity by over 4,000 seats to a total of 85,123.

At the time, the scoreboard was the nation's largest high-definition video display board and remains the largest in collegiate athletics thanks to DAKtronics. The $8-million Prostar Video Board is 55-feet high by 134-feet wide and offers complete flexibility, with the capability to show one large single video image, multiple video images and a combination of live or recorded video with real time scores and stats, out-of-town game information, sponsors' messages, graphics and animation.

In recent years, the stadium has also had renovations to the press box, the Carpenter-Winkel Centennial Room and other renovations to the interior of Moncrief, most notably to the players' lounge.

The stadium was previously renovated in August 1999 with the removal of the track and the lowering of the field by six feet to allow the addition of several rows of seats.

It was part of a project that included removal of the artificial turf from the stadium, construction of the Frank Denius Fields practice facility, the Red & Charline McCombs Field (softball), the Mike A. Myers Track and Soccer Stadium, and extensive remodeling of DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium/Jamail Field and the Moncrief-Neuhaus Athletic Center.

The first stages of the ambitious project were completed in 1996. They included the installation of a sophisticated grass playing field in the stadium and the completion of the Frank Denius Fields.

Progress continued in 1997 with the addition of 14 stadium suites on the west side. The first major construction to the facility since the upper deck was added in 1972 also included a total remodeling of the underside of the stands, including a new concession plaza and a visitors' locker room in the northwest corner of the stadium.

The changes that took place at DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium for the 1998 football season included the addition of a 5,000-seat upper deck on the east side. The massive construction included 52 suites and a 13,000-square foot private club room.

In the Moncrief-Neuhaus Athletic Center, significant expansion and upgrades included a new locker room, training room, trophy room, players' lounge, football academic center and an addition almost doubling the space in the strength and conditioning area.

The football coaching and academic staffs were moved to the facility, housing the key elements of the entire football program in a single complex for the first time.

The final phase of the construction began shortly after the 1998 season ended, when the 75-year-old stadium floor was excavated to a depth of six feet to allow a reconfiguration and addition of seats and the removal of the track to provide a more intimate football setting.

The stadium was originally dedicated on Thanksgiving Day in 1924, after the UT student body decided to name the stadium in honor of the 198,520 Texans who fought in World War I and the 5,280 who lost their lives doing so. In 1977, the stadium was rededicated to veterans of all wars.

Tale of the Turf

Memorial Stadium's field was natural grass from 1925-68.

Artificial turf was first applied to the Memorial Stadium floor in summer 1969. The turf also was replaced in 1974, '82 and '89.

UT returned to natural grass (Prescription Athletic Turf/PAT) in 1996.

The field was lowered and the grass (PAT) was replaced in 1999.

The turf (PAT) was replaced with TifSport Certified Bermuda grass in 2002.

UT switched back to an artificial surface, installing FieldTurf, in 2009.

A new FieldTurf surface was installed in 2013.
