The In-Between at The Future Front House
PRESENTED BY THE GALLERY ATX
On Saturday, May 31, join us for the opening of The In-Between. A guest exhibit by The Gallery ATX, this group show and zine launch explores the spaces where queer love, intimacy and community grow.
All are welcome. Scroll for more details.
WHAT’S ON VIEW
“The In-Between" explores the liminal spaces where queer love, intimacy and community flourish.
This exhibition invites artists to delve into the untidy, transformative moments where connection thrives beyond convention. It celebrates the multiplicity of queer experiences—romantic, platonic, familial, and communal—rooted in authenticity, solidarity, and the radical act of belonging.
The works on view illuminate the fluidity of identity and the dynamic intersections where love, care, and community emerge. Together, they offer a portrait of the in-between—where resistance becomes care, joy becomes reclamation, and traditional boundaries blur.
FEATURING 13 AUSTIN-BASED, EMERGING ARTISTS —
Garrett Skupinski, Shelby Criswell, Gerardo Enrique Gomez, Ethan Isaiah, Vincent Yannicelli, Daniela Rivero, Andy Dean, Erin E Freeman, Essie Somma, Amalya Graham, Ericka Laborde, Rewon Shimray, and Gabriela Rodriguez.
