Behind The Front Market
Curated by Future Front Texas, The Front Market has welcomed 40,000+ guests and 2,000+ Texas artists, makers and craftspeople since 2016.
Homegrown in Austin, Future Front is an award-winning cultural space and public exhibition series—with women and LGBTQ+ creatives at the front. As a 501c3 arts and culture nonprofit, we produce two annual community-led exhibitions, The Front Market and The Front Festival, platforming independent artists and creatives across disciplines in Texas.
Beyond our flagship exhibitions, we host seasonal shows and workshops at our creative space in East Austin, welcoming 20,000+ visitors per year. Through these programs and a diverse network of partnerships, we invite the public (including you) to dream of a future where local art and creativity thrive in Texas—where we see ourselves and our cultures reflected in our communities.
The Front Market is curated and produced by 501c3 nonprofit Future Front. To become a 2025 sponsor, contact us at hello@futurefronttexas.org.
