This has certainly been a tough season, with difficult choices, decisions, and considerations to make. At this time, we are unable to ensure the safety of our audiences, performer safety and availability, or guarantee performances can be scheduled in Knowlton Auditorium (or any performance space).
As such, we regret to inform our followers that we have made the difficult decision to cancel the 2020-2021 Austin Artist Series season.
The Austin Artist Series board of directors will revisit the possibility of a 2021-2022 season closer to that time.
Thank you for your ongoing support.
2021-2022 Season

WHO IS AUSTIN ARTIST SERIES
77 Years of Great Entertainment
Austin Artist Series is one of the largest and longest running arts series in the midwest! AAS members purchase season tickets and have access to unique entertainment throughout the season. Our reciprocity with the Mitchell County Concert Association in Osage and the Albert Lea Civic Music Association makes things even more exciting with all of their concerts included in the purchase of one ticket! Single, Student, and Family season tickets are available for purchase online and at the first two concerts (single concert tickets are not available).
Mission Statement
The mission of the Austin Artist Series is to make world class arts performances locally accessible to the Austin, MN community.
Who Performed - 2019-2020 Season
All Austin Artist Series Performances are held in the AHS Knowlton Auditorium at 7:00 PM.
Check out what our partner music associations have on deck for their 2019-2020 seasons. Remember – your Austin Artist Series ticket gets you into these performances as well.
