A Day of CommUnity is a collective fundraiser benefiting local community organizations with HUGE plans to rebuild a sustainable Bastrop community. We will be…

  • Providing a place for local community and organizations to connect and share
  • Sharing information about healthy, creative, conscious, and sustainable living
  • Encouraging involvement and collaboration within the local community

Also accepting donations for fire survivors of nonperishable food, school supplies, and toiletries

Our mission is to empower the Austin community and support local economy. A Day of CommUnity will feature Austin-local organizations and artists creating a healthy, conscious, and sustainable culture.  We will provide you with skills and knowledge to ‘be the change’ right here, right now. Learn how to GO LOCAL through community involvement and support.

1. What is VuKa? I googled it and got nothing that made any sense in the context of this event or the address.

2. Is there a fee or charge to exhibit at this event?

3. When do the doors open and when do they close?

Hello Don, Vuka was a warehouse space formerly know as Austin Art + Music Partnership. Their website will go live this week, in the next couple of day. We will post a link to it. There is no fee to exhibit/represent/table. Doors open at 11:30am and close at 10pm. Are you interested in representing an organization or cause? Feel free to email loveatxproject@gmail.com.

will this event, by chance, be dog friendly?

jenna September 7, 2011 at 4:20 PM

We love dogs, but we are not able to have them at this event. Thank you for asking! Maybe when we start doing the events at zilker or auditorium shores :)
