Welcome to Community Clubs.

SIGN-UPS ARE OPEN NOW.

follow two steps to sign up:

⭑ STEP ONE: READ OUR FAQ.

WHAT KINDS OF CLUBS ARE AVAILABLE? Club topics vary every year, but they typically stick to the following themes:

• 01. Creative Growth — Learning a new skill or way of doing things

• 02. Creative Practice — Deepening a creative practice, ritual, habit or interest

• 03. Creative Connection — Celebrating / supporting something everyone in the club loves

WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT FROM YOUR HOST? Clubs are hosted independently by Future Front members—not Future Front’s staff. So, sign up for a club and get to know its unique host, members and meeting schedule. Some things to know:

• Signing up for a club is the best way to indicate your interest. Club dates and reminders will then be sent to you by your host! It’s OK if you don’t make everything or have to exit a club. Just remember—club hosts are donating their time, even if asking for a fee.

• You do not have to be a Future Front member to sign up for a club, although some clubs may require a donation or participation fee. It’s up to the host.

• Some clubs might meet once a month, while others meet every two weeks. Most meet at The Future Front House, but there are occasionally digital clubs, as well as guest locations.

• Most clubs have 10 to 20 members, but some are much larger. Feel free to explore clubs that feel like a good fit for you—not every club is for every one, and that’s OK.

• Clubs exist independently of Future Front; some grow into other things, while some may only exist for a season. Enjoy ‘em while they last!

• All clubs are 18+ and designed for Austin, Texas residents. As with any public or private event, attend at your own discretion.
