About
Tandem Arts Partnership is an inspiring initiative that seeks to further the mission of Inspired Minds Art Center to make the arts accessible to all members of the community. By uniting the local arts community and targeting those populations in need, the organization is helping to create a vibrant, inclusive atmosphere in Hays County. This type of positive collaboration is essential in order to foster a healthy and dynamic community. We utilize research, experience, and history to bridge the divides between cultural, emotional, linguistic, and socio-economic groups. Collaborating with local artists and arts institutions allows Tandem Arts Partnership to fulfill its commitment to providing accessible and enriching arts programs.
Tandem Arts Partnership was formed in 2022 in Hays County, Texas. Non-profit status was granted by the Internal Revenue Service in June 2023 via IRS Code Section: 501(c)(3).
We believe that participating in the arts enables people to embrace who they are, to define their own futures, and to change the world.
