  <title>Texas Performing Arts</title>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;Since opening our doors to Austin and Central Texas in 1981, Texas Performing Arts&amp;nbsp; has evolved into one of the leading university arts presenters in the country. Comprised of six state-of-the-art theatres, the Texas Performing Arts presents, produces and commissions stellar global culture experiences otherwise unavailable locally to the Central Texas community. And driven by a commitment to educate, enlighten and entertain, has helped established the University of Texas and Austin as a venue for international culture and performing arts.  Operating under the auspices of the University of Texas at Austin College of Fine Arts, the Texas Performing Arts&amp;nbsp; promotes an artistic fusion and diversity in which pop legends, chamber orchestras, alternative rock bands and world music superstars share the season. From Broadway to Alvin Ailey, Philip Glass to Sonny Rollins, Circus Oz to Bill Cosby, the Performing Arts Center brings the world to Austin with a kaleidoscope of world-class artists in all genres. And in keeping with our mission to educate as well as entertain, we are constantly developing diverse and innovative programs reflecting the traditional and evolving cultures of the world. Texas Performing Arts presents the University&amp;rsquo;s College of Fine Arts students with the opportunity to work alongside professionals in the performing arts field as a way of enhancing their education with hands-on experience. In addition, it has opened the doors of the university to the Central Texas community by offering opportunities to join in the creative process through programs for all ages.Texas Performing Arts&amp;rsquo;s impact on the arts goes beyond the Austin community, exemplified by our ArtesAm&amp;eacute;ricas program. Founded in partnership with the Teresa Lozano Long Institute of Latin American Studies, the ArtesAm&amp;eacute;ricas Latin Arts and education initiative has created a gateway for Latin American artists to bring their art, history and culture to the United States, facilitating artistic/cultural exchanges between countries.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
