About Own Your Own Universe

The "Own Your Own Universe" (OYOU) is a 501 C3 non-profit organization based out of San Marcos and Martindale, Texas. It is our mission to make the arts accessible to everyone! We empower and transform lives by connecting the mind, body, and spirit through music and the creative arts. 99% of our events take place in the rural town of Martindale, Texas. We provide a much needed service within our community.

We're celebrating our 10th anniversary with an online fundraiser and silent auction. Everything concludes December 19th with an online concert by Terri Hendrix where 100% of the proceeds will go to the OYOU. We'll announce the silent auction winners during that concert and will notify winners via email. The concert will broadcast live on multiple social media pages and at our website at ownyourownuniverse.org. Please visit our website for links and information on how to watch the concert online.

We're seeking funding to host multiple events. We pay our performers, educators, workshop facilitators, local small businesses that assist us, and host both free and ticketed events. We offer scholarships to all ticketed events.
