Austin Hanson is now in his 13th year working at Brookwood. He is still so excited and happy each day he goes to work. You may have seen Austin working away in the Café, with his tie, apron and big smile. Lately he has joined the Stone Casting Studio working an additional two days a week painting. 

Energy Transfer partnered up with Austin almost five years ago. Austin’s uniquely expressive paintings are auctioned off by the Energy Transfer BBQ Cookoff Leadership Team and Austin at the BBQ Cookoff. 

His true passion has been creating paintings for the Brookwood Art Fest. He works all year to create enough paintings for this show, where he sells out quickly. 

This partnership was one of the top fundraisers for 2024. We are so thankful for this community and our partnership with Energy Transfer. Go “Team Austin and Energy Transfer”!!!
