History
Established in 2012.
Vuka was founded by a group of visionary Austinites who saw the need for an inspiring community space. The vision was to create a modern day community center that could host a wide array of events, workshops, and classes (and provide a creative workspace by day for purpose-driven professionals via Impact Hub Austin at Vuka, also located onsite).
