— BEHIND THIS EVENT —
Emerge is an annual partnership between Future Front and The Line Hotel’s GET HERE program.
Since 2017, our strategic collaborations with the hotel—from art installations to community swims to The Front Festival—have generated $75,000+ in support for independent women & LGBTQ+ artists in Austin. Forever featuring emerging creatives, consider this series a love note to their work and an intro to the city we call home.
Homegrown in Austin, Future Front is a community space and exhibition series—with women and LGBTQ+ creatives at the front. As an arts and culture nonprofit, we’re mother to The Front Market, The Front Festival and The Work Conference. Beyond our flagship exhibitions, we host year-round shows, gatherings and workshops at our creative community space in Downtown East Austin. Everybody and every body are welcome. You can learn more about how it all works, our team and what we do: futurefronttexas.org
The Line Hotel Austin is located in Downtown Austin, Texas. Once home to a jazz club that broadcast live on local radio in the late 1960s, the hotel is part of Downtown history and holds a cultural legacy as unique as the city itself. Today, you can find a little bit of everything HERE—art, food, design—even nature.
