AAPI Open House

Join us for a special evening full of incredible art paired with complimentary craft cocktails and unbeatable vibes. Be the first to experience their newest exhibition : an exploration and celebration of Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) cultures and the dynamic intersections of identity, culture, and belonging within. The exhibit will feature 11 local AAPI artists who, through diverse mediums, will examine themes of migration, generational narratives, resilience, and the evolving definitions of selfhood within the AAPI community.

Plus, shop hundreds of original art by Austin's largest women and nonbinary artist collective, atxGALS.

Voted as one of the top three places to see art in Austin, this woman and immigrant-owned gallery is proud to present this intentional, thought-provoking exhibit.

About The Cathedral:

The Cathedral is a Latina-owned art gallery, event space, and boutique workspace located in a beautifully restored 1930s church in East Austin. As the home of atxGALS, the city's largest collective of women and nonbinary artists, The Cathedral features a dynamic range of artwork throughout the year, alongside hosting unique, art-centered events.

Thank you for supporting local women + nonbinary artists and a local Latina-owned business!

Tickets are priced intentionally to cover the costs associated with the production of our shows, marketing efforts and to support our mission to provide an elevated space for emerging artists to shine. At The Cathedral, we have a unique gallery commission structure to ensure more money is going directly to the artists. Supporting our events enables this mission.
