Introducing Our 2024 Calendar: A Year of Big Rituals
Welcome to 2024. It’s time to mark your calendar.
As we re-open for a new season, we’ve got your back with a visual guide to this year’s big event and application dates. Plus, we’ve got a few notes on Future Front’s inspirations and themes for this year.
✰ 2024 BIG EVENT DATES:
FUTURE FRONT CURATES AND PRODUCES THE FRONT MARKET, THE FRONT FESTIVAL AND THE WORK CONFERENCE EVERY YEAR.
Beyond our exhibitions, we host year-round shows, gatherings and workshops nurturing creative community at our flagship space in Downtown East Austin. Event registration opens on a weekly basis at futurefronttexas.org/comethrough (all of these events will be up there soon).
So, mark your calendar now & make plans to visit or get involved!
✰ 2024 OPEN CALLS:
IF YOU’RE LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO SHARE YOUR CREATIVE WORK, GET INTO OUR OPEN CALLS.
Every season, we feature work by different women and LGBTQ+ artists, makers, designers, creative leaders, small business owners, musicians, filmmakers.
You can also join membership for complimentary access to all of our events, workshops and learning spaces year-round. All open calls will be listed as they are made available at futurefronttexas.org/apply.
✰ THIS YEAR’S annual THEME:
Last year, our annual theme was homegrown, so throughout 2023, we explored seasons of homecoming. From our creative workshops to our curatorial exhibitions, every space reflected back stories of how we’ve grown, as well as where we started.
In 2024, we’ll be stepping into ritual.
Rituals of creativity. Rituals of care. Rituals of curiosity. Rituals of community.
Inspired by the Texas cosmos (that eclipse is coming) and the little-big cycles of our lives (from election seasons to daily routines), expect stories throughout our programs that remind you to zoom in and out. To reimagine, reexamine or simply remember the rituals connecting us to ourselves, our communities and our cultures. As always, no matter what you attend, we invite you to explore this prompt for yourself along the way. More to come!
