Bring It From The Back features a curated selection of portraits and scenes from Austin-based photographer ScamLikely’s archives. On view at The Future Front House throughout Summer 2024, the exhibit celebrates the profound impact of ballroom and queer nightlife on Central Texas arts and culture.

It was an ecosystem of tie-dye, snow cones, plant swaps, and splash pads. A day of drag fairies, family time, makers’ markets, basketball courts and summer camp queerdom—all strung together by DIY friendship bracelets and shaded park benches.

Over the last month, The Future Front House presented Transcendent Reality, an exhibit curated by Maria Romero and Rewon Shimray of woman-owned fine art collective The Gallery ATX.

In commemoration of Madly Involved and our Spring Season, we interviewed curator Mueni Loko Rudd, as well as artists Sacugar Edwards and Moses Leonardo, on the world-buildling creative rituals that define their practices.

Over the last two years, Future Front has proudly supported Bloodbath Studio’s community fashion shows.

Open to makers, artists, designers, creatives or creative-curious types of any kind in Austin, Texas, the fellowship covers 18 free six-week ceramics courses at Broad Studios Club House. Released for the first time this Spring, we received 170+ eligible applications for the fellowship.

While Austin celebrated SXSW during Spring 2024, Highlander Center popped up at The Future Front House for all-day sessions, exploring the intersections of storytelling, movement-building and the artistic, cultural and creative mycelium of southern people’s struggles for justice and democracy.

For one day only during SXSW Spring 2024, we were the official tour Texas stop for Care Machine, Los Angeles-based artist Autumn Breon’s latest installation, a traveling beauty and sexual health vending machine. To celebrate, Future Front became The Care House: a literal and figurative community salon, in collaboration with Plan C.
