The Front Market celebrated ten years this Spring, due to support from our sponsors, members, staff, volunteers, friends and you. Thank you.
THIS SEASON’S IMPACT:
★ NO. 1 — 7,500+ VISITORS & 150+ ARTISTS AND MAKERS
From ceramicists and fiber artists to woodworkers and jewelry makers, we exhibited more than 150 artists, makers, creatives and independent craftspeople across Texas, with an average of 3,750 visitors joining us each day.
★ NO. 2 — 100% COMMUNITY-LED CURATION & PRODUCTION TEAMS
It took four staff members, 24 board members, 16 event volunteers, 200+ collaborators and one year of planning to open The Front Market’s Spring 2026 Season at Distribution Hall in East Austin.
★ NO. 3 — $1,500+ DONATIONS RAISED, $12,000+ IN COMMISSIONS & CONTRACTS DISTRIBUTED
Thanks to Distribution Hall, Tito’s Handmade Vodka, Texas Commission on the Arts, an Elevate grant from AACME, Liquid Death, Movability, Moontower Rentals, Miscellaneous Rentals, Partiful and Future Front Texas, we were able to keep the market free and open to the public, with community workshops, DJ sets and art installations each day.
