   Homegrown in Austin, Future Front is an award-winning cultural space and public exhibition series. 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 visitors per year. Through these programs and a diverse network of partnerships, we invite the public to dream of a future where local art and creativity thrive in Texas—where we see ourselves and our cultures reflected in our communities—Since 2017, I have scaled the organization\'s mission, vision, budget and operations from its first donation of Day-to-day, I now lead a staff of six and 88 volunteers to design private and public programs for the organizations’s 100K+ Texan audience across a spectrum of stakeholders. These community-designed festivals and fairs have distributed more than $1M in commissions and support to independent artists, musicians, filmmakers, craftspeople, cultural producers and multidisciplinary creatives in Texas over the last ten years.
