this season’s five highlights:

✰ No. 1 — 150+ Vendors Exhibited

We exhibited more than 150+ women and LGBTQ+ creatives and independent business owners across Texas.

✰ No. 2 — 3,000+ Visitors Welcomed

We welcomed 3,000+ visitors at Distribution Hall over the course of two days (3,500, if you include dogs).

✰ No. 3 — $1,500+ Fundraised

Thanks to donations at the door and our Cocktails For Good Bar by Tito’s Handmade Vodka, we fundraised $1,500+ for our community programs.

✰ No. 4 — $10,000 In Commissions & Contracts

The market’s production and programming generated more than $10,000 in commissions and contracts for women- & queer-owned creative teams in Austin, too.

✰ No. 5 — 100% Community-Led

It took two full-time team members, 25 volunteers and curators, 200+ collaborators and six months of planning to open The Front Market’s Spring 2023 Season.
