Dougherty Arts Center
1110 Barton Springs Rd., 512/974-4000
Once the Naval and Marine Reserve
Center, this city-operated cultural facility
now educates budding artists instead of
sailors and hosts many cultural events.
Located on the periphery of the pending
arts complex development over and
around Palmer Auditorium, the DAC
features the Dougherty Arts Theater, a
150-seat auditorium that is available for
music, theatre, and dance productions, a
large sculpture/pottery studio, and dozens
of classrooms. City staff at the DAC also
books the Sheffield Hillside Theatre in
Zilker Park, across from the main
entrance of the Barton Springs pool.

Non-Binary Joy
From nonbinary interdisciplinary theatre designer, dancer, and choreographer Desmond Kendra Wiley comes an immersive and interactive dance experience. The collaboration between Wiley and Dougherty Arts Center was developed by and for Austin’s nonbinary community. Integrated into the show through text are responses by nonbinary folks to an informal survey about their lived experiences. People of any gender identity are invited to join the celebration of identity, authenticity, and queerness as well as donate $10 for entry. Comfortable clothes are the suggested attire. – Jasmine Iman Wright July 3-6.
