Presented by Future Front with support from Preservation Austin, In the Days of Various Light is a solo show and site-specific collage installation by Austin-based artist Xochi Solis.

Generational Austin artist and community leader Xochi Solis served as founding Board President of Future Front Texas for nearly eight years. Throughout her time at Future Front, Solis contributed to the organization’s name change, established our current advisory and team structures, served as Interim Admin Director in our biggest growth spurts, as well as helped co-found our Residency and VIBE programs.

In April, we gathered for one night only within Richie Shazam’s “I Was Never Meant To Survive This” for a site-specific performance of ILOVEYOU by Austin artist and icon María.

For The Front Market’s Spring 2026 Season (which marked ten years), we exhibited 150+ independent artists, makers and craftspeople, welcoming a record 7,500+ visitors across the state of Texas.

Every year during SXSW, Future Front hosts artists, activists and musicians across the U.S. for International Women's Day and Women's History Month. This year, we celebrated with a day of slow media in one of Austin’s newest third spaces, concept store and magazine shop TOMO mags.

Thousands of Austin families joined us for a beautiful day in Austin’s first (and oldest) public park.

Presented by Future Front, Open Call was the 2025 Group Show for Future Front’s Artist Residency.

This fellowship emerged in 2024 as a pay-it-forward project—generously funded by the independent artists behind the women-owned Broad Studios Club House—to make ceramics more financially accessible as an artistic practice and form of creative entrepreneurship.

One-part zine launch and one-part dinner, the night’s proceeds amplified NOURISHED, a collection of diasporic recipes, while fundraising for local immigrant- and refugee-serving organizations.

Curated by Carlos Moreno, Scent Fair Austin encouraged an exploration of grief, nature and ritual, encouraging reflections on the community traditions of scent and its connection to movements of resistance.
