this season’s five highlights:
✰ No. 1 — 175+ Vendors Exhibited
We exhibited more than 175 women and LGBTQ+ creatives and independent business owners across Texas.
✰ No. 2 — 4,000+ Visitors Welcomed
We welcomed 4,000+ visitors over five days!
✰ No. 3 — All Supplies Redistributed (+ 1 Dog Adopted!)
Thanks to support from our partners at Ani’s Day & Night, Tito’s Handmade Vodka, Topo Chico and The City of Austin’s Cultural Arts Division, we were able to give away all of the market’s equipments to our vendor community, including 50 tents, 60 chairs and 50 folding tables. We also worked closely with vendors and friends to help a stray dog (a sweet husky mix we temporarily named Noodle) find a new home! She now lives with a family a few blocks away from Ani’s Day & Night.
✰ 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.
✰ No. 5 — 100% Community-Led
It took two full-time team members, 30 volunteers and curators, 250+ collaborators and six months of planning to open The Front Market’s Fall 2023 Season.
