this season’s three highlights:
✰ No. 1 — 175+ CREATIVES Exhibited & 4,000+ Visitors Welcomed
From ceramicists and fiber artists to woodworkers and jewelry makers, we exhibited more than 175 women and LGBTQ+ creatives and independent business owners across Texas, with 2,000+ visitors joining us each day (a record high since our reopening in 2021).
✰ No. 2 — 100% Community-Led CURATION & PRODUCTION TEAMS
It took four staff members, 25 board members, 19 event volunteers, 250+ collaborators and six months of planning to open The Front Market’s Fall 2024 Season at Waterloo Greenway for the first time.
✰ No. 3 — $2,000+ DONATIONS RAISED, $10,000+ In Commissions & Contracts DISTRIBUTED
Thanks to support from our members, volunteers and sponsors at Waterloo Greenway, Tito’s Handmade Vodka, Waymo, The City of Austin’s Cultural Arts Division, Moontower Rentals, Miscellaneous Rentals, Topo Chico, Red River Cultural District, the Downtown Austin Alliance Foundation and Texas Commission on The Arts, we were able to keep the market free and open to the public, with complimentary community workshops each day.
The market’s production and programming generated more than $10,000 in commissions and contracts for women- & LGBTQ-owned creative teams in Austin, too.
You can read about this season in KVUE, Austin American-Statesman, Austin Chronicle, KXAN and CultureMap Austin, too.
