ATXM remains committed to advocating for legislative change at the local, state, and federal levels to protect musicians and independent artists from unauthorized use of their work, voice, likeness, and creative identity via the use of generative A.I. models.

Doubling down on the work that shapes long-term change—strengthening advocacy at every level (local to federal), AI protections for creators and fighting unfair streaming royalties to ensure musicians are paid fairly in a rapidly evolving industry.

Hands-on training, expert-led workshops, and career-building support to help musicians grow their skills and income. In-person, and online.

We’re developing tools to help protect musicians’ livelihoods and reduce the growing threat of stolen equipment.

After years of work, our grand vision for a safer, more financially viable downtown for musicians advances to Council later this summer. Items include: 1.) Free late-night safety escorts until 3 a.m., 2.) an impact study to support free parking for musicians and service industry workers, 3.) a clean, safe and sober Downtown Green Room where artists can gather, collaborate, and recharge before and after gigs, 4.) and a shuttle service connecting musicians, workers, and patrons throughout downtown.

New venue partnerships mean more gigs, better pay, and stronger visibility for Austin artists.
