Why does this space exist?
Why does this space exist?
The Future Front House is run by women & LGBTQ+ creatives — open to all.
Through The Future Front House and our flagship programs, we hope to continue creating opportunities for artists and creatives, funding community cultural events, developing community-building educational resources, offering subsidized access to space & nurturing free, public arts programming.
We also hope to live up to the legacy of our block. From soil to cement, our building has a long history that precedes us. We acknowledge and honor Austin’s Black Cultural District, the diverse Indigenous peoples and all elders—past, present and future—who have shaped and continue to shape this land on which we gather. We invite you to celebrate their active cultural contributions, causes and traditions, too. Make space and tend good relations here and now.
