on fridays, we shop local.
As part of our Emerge series with The Line Hotel, join us for a curated shopping experience in the hotel lobby. Every Friday, we’ll feature a vendor from our creative fair, The Front Market, starting with Amanda Nwobu, founder of fragrance concept shop 8-12.
While you’re HERE, you can also explore all the hotel has to offer—from Alfred’s to art installations.
Scroll for more details.
BEHIND 8-12
Founded by Amanda Nwobu (pictured), Eight Twelve is a fragrance concept shop with scents from origins near and far. We center aromatic artists who are inspired by their sense of home, heritage, and lived experiences. Through our curation, we aspire to connect indie fragrances that broaden and reclaim olfactory narratives with people who use scent to enhance the joy, peace, & reverence in the spaces they occupy.

THIS EVENT IS PART OF EMERGE.
Emerge is an annual partnership between Future Front and The Line Hotel’s GET HERE program. Since 2017, our strategic collaborations with the hotel—from art installations to community swims to The Front Festival—have generated $75,000+ in support for independent women & LGBTQ+ artists in Austin. Forever featuring emerging creatives, consider this series a love note to their work and an intro to the city we call home.
Future Front is a 501c3 nonprofit, homegrown in Austin, Texas. We nurture spaces where women and LGBTQ+ creatives, founders and leaders can grow together. Currently, we produce The Front Market and Festival, host year-round workshops and meet-ups, as well as create resources for resilience in creative industries. You’re invited to join us, of course. You can learn more about how it all works, our team and what we do: futurefronttexas.org
The Line Hotel Austin is located in Downtown Austin, Texas. Once home to a jazz club that broadcast live on local radio in the late 1960s, the hotel is part of Downtown history and holds a cultural legacy as unique as the city itself. Today, you can find a little bit of everything HERE—art, food, design—even nature.
