With a nationally-certified Butterfly Sanctuary, an outdoor stage, and handcrafted cocktails, our Butterfly Bar, has become a community destination in East Austin. A leader in the growth of the arts and economic stability in Austin, The VORTEX thrives as a mature arts organization. The VORTEX is a Green Business Leader with succes Update description
