Below is Tamara’s flamenco non profit that you can learn about. Arte y Pasión is a Texas-based 501c3 nonprofit organization known for pushing the boundaries of flamenco and Spanish dance, whose mission is to share, promote and develop the authentic art of flamenco as a vehicle of healing and restoration, and the promotion of human rights and equality. From 2010 to the present, Arte y Pasión has conceived, produced and performed artistic direction for over 30 theatrical flamenco productions between 2010 and the present. Since its inception, Arte y Pasión has developed a reputation as one of the most contemporary Spanish dance companies in the United States, addressing issues of restoration of the individual and humanity. In 2025, Arte y Pasión performed SONIDOS DE LIBERTAD “Sounds of Liberty,” a history of Punk as told through the art of flamenco. In 2024, Arte y Pasión performed productions ADVENTURE STORIES, about the joys and pitfalls of venturing into the unknown, and MINHA, a Prayer for Peace, for all involved in Gaza. In 2023, Arte y Pasión performed MERCURIA, an anthem to the impossible choices women must make in pursuit of their own agency. Today, the company expands its horizons from Texas across the ocean to Spain, promoting and nurturing connections between Spanish and United States based artists on both sides of the Atlantic through inter-cultural collaboration, exchange, mentorship, artistic sharing, and cultural heritage.

It’s hard for me to believe that 2026 marks my thirtieth year with ACG. I was a few weeks shy of my twenty-first birthday - and a month into my graduate studies - when I was given a box containing the corporate documents for what was then a small, all-volunteer organization. Within ten years ACG emerged as the largest entity of its kind in history. I had opportunities to meet all my childhood heroes and experiment with many new ideas. Pretty soon leaders of other organizations from across the world were calling to learn about how we were doing what we were doing. And those calls have never stopped! I’m writing this morning to invite you to a free happy hour edition of ACGtalks at The Rosette on Thursday, March 26 at 5:30pm when beloved Austin journalist Robert Faires and I will talk about the journey. RSVP for in person or for the livestream here or in our bio: /acgtalks-rsvp/ I don’t know what Robert will ask me, but I’m really looking forward to the conversation. I hope we’ll share stories of adventure, wonder, and surprise of which there are many. I hope we’ll talk about how music changes lives of which I am now certain after years of witnessing it first-hand. I hope he’ll pull out of me truths about the profound transformations that have occurred inside my heart thanks to the love of this precious community and the kindness of the caring souls that surround me in our team, our audience, our supporters, our teachers, and our students. I’m grateful beyond words for the opportunities we’ve had to share the wonder of beauty and creation with so many across the world. I’m excited in the knowledge that we’re just getting started. With deepest thanks and hopes I’ll see you soon, Matt Hinsley ACG Executive Director photo by Jack Kloecker @jackkloecker #acg35 #austinclassicalguitar #do512 #do512music #robertfaires

It’s Amplify Austin week! At Austin Classical Guitar, we believe in the transformative power of music. We have witnessed firsthand how music can transcend boundaries, touch hearts, and make a positive impact in people’s lives. Over the past decade, we have been privileged to create and sustain Texas’ first and only daily, for-credit performing arts course for young people incarcerated in the Juvenile Justice system. Our 2026 Amplify Austin goal is to raise $15,000, enough to provide instruments, class materials, and support for our wonderful team of teaching artists. Donors will be invited to upcoming performances as our Juvenile Justice program continues to grow!
