Thanks to donations at the door and our Cocktails For Good Bar by Tito’s Handmade Vodka, we fundraised $1,500+ for our community programs.

✰ No. 4 — $10,000 In Commissions & Contracts

The market’s production and programming generated more than $10,000 in commissions and contracts for women- & queer-owned creative teams in Austin, too.

It took two full-time team members, 25 volunteers and curators, 200+ collaborators and six months of planning to open The Front Market’s Spring 2023 Season.
