History

Established in 2008.

Founded by Peyton Wimmer and Aaron Willams, formerly of the SIMS Foundation, AAMP has provided thousands of hours of space and support to around 150 different Austin artists, nonprofits and community groups. This will only grow with your support. We created a model of giving that utilizes the creative capital of time and energy to maximize the financial capital we must spend in these hard economic times. By leveraging our creative capital, we can boldly address the needs of our community and support the arts in one effort.
