Since 2009, Art Spark Texas has hosted an annual holiday market celebrating the creativity of artists with disabilities. In 2025, that tradition is growing into something even bigger!
We’re proud to introduce the Beyond Art Market a vibrant indoor/outdoor market showcase of artists with disabilities with live music, food, interactive art, and community. This year, we also spotlight Austin-local black artists and businesses - together, we celebrate the Black Cultural District we call home at Art Spark Texas headquarters, in the historic building and neighborhood where Six Square was originally founded.
This year, Crepe Crazy and Acero Hearts served up crepes, burgers and tacos all day alongside a lineup of local musicians:
Devin Guiterrez | DJ Thereheis | Zachary LaViola (Art Spark Texas' 2025 Artist of the Year Winner!) | DJ Veneer
Imagination Station popped up with an interactive animation station alongside an interactive mural from the Color Squad honoring black resistance in Austin. It was an incredible showcase of talent with engaging events all day!
