MEET THE DJS
Strawberry Jams (she/her) is made up of duo Veronica Luna and Alyssa Bunting who have a collective 10 years of vinyl DJ experience. Strawberry Jams plays an array of music from country to psychedelic rock and curate music selections based off their environment and theme. Strawberry Jams does not tolerate environments of bigotry, sexism or racism and will not perform in an environment that jeopardizes the quality of our records.

At Future Front events, all guests are expected to follow Austin-local health and safety guidelines for gatherings, as well as practice consideration with the consumption of tobacco, alcohol and any other legal, mind-altering or dangerous substances and objects. This includes:
As Future Front strives to be a good neighbor, we also discourage the use of tobacco products on the property of nearby businesses and residences, to improve air quality, throughout our events.
Tobacco use and electronic smoking device use are not permitted at any time within Future Front properties and event spaces at least 15 ft from entrances, exits, operational windows, or ventilation system intake vents.

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.
Homegrown in Austin, Future Front is a community space and exhibition series—with women and LGBTQ+ creatives at the front. As an arts and culture nonprofit, we’re mother to The Front Market, The Front Festival and The Work Conference. Beyond our flagship exhibitions, we host year-round shows, gatherings and workshops at our creative community space in Downtown East Austin. Everybody and every body are welcome. 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.
THIS PROJECT IS SUPPORTED IN PART BY The City of Austin Economic Development Department, Tito’s Handmade Vodka, Texas Commission on the Arts, Waymo, The LINE Hotel Austin, Pease Park Conservancy, the Red River Cultural District, Downtown Austin Alliance Foundation, Topo Chico, as well as Future Front’s donors and members. THANK YOU!
