Environmental Activism

Habitable Spaces is a residency where artist will be given the opportunity to design and construct their own shelter on site – with very few rules curtailing the outcome! Each resident will work a minimum of 4 hours per day, three days a week on our farm. During our upcoming first residency period we aim to admit 6 artists, increasing to 12 in subsequent years. Habitable Spaces is expected to be open to the public in the fall of 2012.

Community Website for events that result in progress for society. We also are the home for the Austin Progressive Potluckers: Austin's monthly potluck that lets you check out a group or organization over a delicious meal.

Texas State University-San Marcos purchased Aquarena in 1994, changing the focus of the former theme park, from entertainment to preservation and education. The 90-acre acquisition has enabled Texas State to preserve the beautiful, ecologically fragile site for the state, while opening up classroom, lab and research possibilities for the university.
