Thanks to support from our members, volunteers and sponsors at Tito’s Handmade Vodka, Distribution Hall, The City of Austin’s Cultural Arts Division, Moontower Rentals, Miscellaneous Rentals, Topo Chico 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 direct commissions and contracts for independent artists, creative teams and local collectives, too.
