What Other Creatives Have To Say:
“Future Front Texas has given me spaces to grow, create and be in community — from The LINE Creative Retreat, which nurtured my personal practice, to Scent Fair at the Community Studio, which allowed me to experiment and expand my curatorial vision, to The Front Market where I connected directly with our Austin creative ecosystem. Each experience has meaningfully shaped my work and affirmed the impact of building art and culture together. I’m deeply grateful for the continued support and the space to show up as my fullest creative self.”
“This organization has given me a platform to... actively build and maintain the spaces we want to see in our local communities. I have watched in awe and actively participated in the creation of a nurturing learning environment where folks have challenged themselves to new ideas, extended networks, and fresh perspectives—all with space to make mistakes or show up less than perfect.”
“Earlier today, I realized that Future Front has been part of my entrepreneurship journey from the very beginning. I remember going to a meet-up and sharing about my first business. It was far from perfect, but it got me started. Over time, it just grew and grew, too, birthing my podcast, retreats and more. Now, it’s seven years later—and wow!”
“I seriously appreciate Future Front so much and had the most amazing experience working with y’all!”
