HERE ARE 5 things that happened at the front:
✰ No. 1 —
We exhibited more than 160+ women and LGBTQ+ creators and small business owners across Texas.
✰ No. 2 —
We welcomed 4,000+ visitors at Distribution Hall (4,500, if you include dogs).
✰ No. 3 —
Thanks to donations at the door and the Good Cocktails Bar by Tito’s Handmade Vodka, we fundraised $2,000+ for our Creative Future of Texas Fund.
✰ No. 4 —
We hosted two parties around The Front Market to support causes we care about, including an Earth Day initiative with GOOD girls ATX, as well as a creative community fundraiser with _OF COLOR.
✰ No. 5 —
It took a team of 200+ people and four months of collaboration to create The Front Market for two days. The market’s buildout generated more than $10,000 in commissions and contracts for women- and queer-owned businesses and production teams in Austin.

It's crucial for us that The Front Market is more than lip service for women and LGBTQ+ voices in Texas. We would not be able to use the market as a space to nurture movements and causes we care about without support from our sponsors, members, staff, volunteers, friends and you. Thank you.
