this season’s three highlights:

✰ No. 1 — 160+ Vendors Exhibited & 3,500+ Visitors Welcomed

We exhibited more than 160 women and LGBTQ+ creatives and independent business owners across Texas, with 3,500+ visitors joining us each day. (Even in torrential rain!)

✰ No. 2 — 100% Community-Led CURATION & PRODUCTION TEAMS

It took two full-time team members, four part-time staff members, 30 volunteers and curators, 250+ collaborators and six months of planning to open The Front Market’s Spring 2024 Season.

✰ No. 3 — $1,000+ DONATIONS RAISED, $10,000+ In Commissions & Contracts DISTRIBUTED

Thanks to support from our members, volunteers and sponsors at Tito’s Handmade Vodka, Topo Chico, The City of Austin’s Cultural Arts Division, Waymo, Texas Commission on The Arts, Moontower Rentals and Distribution Hall, 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.
