Overview

Mission

Provide opportunities for diverse, emerging artists and arts professionals to reach the broader Austin community through unique experiences. In lieu of a physical gallery space, we exhibit art through creative collaborations, pop-up exhibitions, zines, unique art experiences and partnerships. By providing unique platforms to display our artists' message, we're connecting diverse creators to the local community, fostering an appreciation for art and building interest and advocacy from potential collectors and patrons As a non-profit organization, we also provide opportunities for emerging art professionals to launch their careers through curation, administration, fundraising and strategy.

What it reported doing in 2025

Two group exhibition service and production fees including contracted photographers and videographers, ASL interpreter, DJ, and production fees for exhibition catalogs.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 78% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
