Began the third season of the True Tales by Disability Advocates podcast, featuring stories by people with disabilities, with over 4,000 downloads worldwide. Texas Veterans Strong continued to serve over 700 veterans by hosting two exhibitions in Austin and arts and healing workshops across the state. We also hosted and offered fiscal and administrative support to two local arts organizations.
