Creative Action, an educational art program for children, will move its headquarters to Mueller, where it will open a new “community arts collaborative building,” according to a news release.
Construction is slated to begin in May 2026, with Creative Action to occupy the space in fall 2027.
What to expect
The 25,000-square-foot building will house six nonprofit partners across two stories, including Art Spark Texas, Austin Bat Cave, Austin Soundwaves, Latinitas, Creative Action and Studio A.
The new headquarters will include rehearsal spaces and community gathering areas “that help blend the arts with academic and social-emotional learning,” according to the release.

The new project will be located on a half-acre near Marshall Middle School. Proximity to the middle school will allow Creative Action and AISD to share creative and meeting spaces to foster artistic talent and abilities for students.
In their own words
“Not only is Mueller a centrally located community with close access to many of our established school and nonprofit partners in East and Central Austin,” Joe McIalwain, executive director of Creative Action, said in a news release. “But there is also an existing foundation of partners and a strong creative spirit within Mueller, thanks to the many people living, working and developing in this innovative community.”
