The public has two more opportunities to weigh in on what services and resources should be included in creative hubs proposed for the city’s three ethnic cultural centers. The sessions are scheduled for Sept. 30 at the Asian American Resource Center, with a session about the George Washington Carver Museum and Cultural Center kicking off at 11 a.m. while the gathering about the Emma S. Barrientos Mexican American Cultural Center begins at 2 p.m. These facilities are all run by the Parks and Recreation Department and are being considered to be partially renovated to offer musicians and artists resources to perform, rehearse, livestream and record. The centers would also offer assistance in business development, marketing and other entrepreneurial needs. Those interested in attending either session are asked to RSVP on the EQ Austin website.
