Thomas J. Henry launched Austin Elevates in 2019 as a way to provide an immersive art and music experience while giving back to the local community. In its first year, Austin Elevates brought in artistic and music talent including Alec Monopoly, G-Eazy, Da Baby, 88 Glam, Daddy Yankee, and Kygo.

To kick-off the two-day event, contemporary street artist Alec Monopoly unveiled a new mural at Parlor and Yard in downtown Austin, Texas. The mural was dedicated to the Lone Star State and presented by Thomas J. Henry. Monopoly’s work has received international recognition by leading luxury brands, art galleries and celebrities. The mural unveiling was followed by an afterparty at Summit Rooftop Lounge with a special performance by G-Eazy.

The second day of Austin Elevates centered around a large special benefit concert held at the Austin360 Amphitheatre and featuring live performances by recording artists 88 Glam, DaBaby, Daddy Yankee, and Kygo. All donated proceeds from the event supported Superhero Kids, the SAFE Alliance, and St. David’s Foundation Community Fund.

“Austin continues to be one of our nation’s most popular destinations to experience the best in art and music. With this event, I hope to foster more unique talent in Austin in order to further elevate the community and support the amazing nonprofits making a cultural difference every day,” said Attorney Thomas J. Henry.
