The Austin Critics Table has named the seventh group of individuals to be inducted into the Austin Arts Hall of Fame. As with the previous honorees, these seven Austinites have made significant contributions to the community over many years – some as artists, some as educators, some as patrons, some as administrators, some as a combination of these, but all as friends of and advocates for the arts. The 2008 class of inductees includes:
Margie Coyle (Cap City Comedy Club) – manager, comedy advocate
Stan Haas (TeamHaas/Nelsen Partners) – architect
Don Howell (The Public Domain Theatre/Austin Shakespeare Festival) – patron, producer, actor
Craig Hella Johnson (Conspirare) – conductor, vocalist, composer, company founder
Joe and Teresa Lozano Long (Long Center for the Performing Arts, Austin Symphony, Ballet Austin, Umlauf Sculpture Garden & Museum, Austin Lyric Opera, et al.) – patrons
Tina Marsh (Creative Opportunity Orchestra) – vocalist, composer, company founder
The new Hall of Famers will be recognized at the 2007-08 Austin Critics Table Awards ceremony, to be held on Monday, June 2, 7pm, at Cap City Comedy Club, 8120 Research.
