Since 2021 we’ve been producing multi-day art and music showcases with a focus on building local, eclectic lineups that boost artists and grow Austin’s creative community.

To date, our lineups have featured…

222 artists

that made over $109k

91 musicians

who were paid over $54k

for a total of $164k
into the creative scene since 2021

Artists
should have low barriers to entry.

Many showcases, markets, festivals, exhibitions, and galleries require artists to pay high fees to participate. We believe this creates a barrier to developing artists who may not yet have confidence in their work or may not have access to the funds needed for their work to be seen by an audience. Each of our events has a public, free open call for creatives (of all mediums) to apply to show their work. If selected, all we ask is a small fee to assist with event costs.

Musicians
deserve to be
paid living wages.

We put our money where our mouth is. We never ask anyone to play for free and refuse offers from promoters and musicians to play sets at no cost or for visibility. We recognize that the music industry is a deeply problematic space where talent is often overlooked and poorly funded. We work with musicians to pay them the best rates for their sets that we possibly can and help advance their careers by getting them in front of a new audience.

Community
building is key.

At the end of the day, we are in the business of creating community. It would be a mistake to say our showcases are only about ensuring creatives succeed. We are intentional about building valuable, continuous relationships with one another. That’s why our events hold space for around half of our lineups to be people we’ve worked with previously while filling the other half with folks who are new to PietschHouse. If you’ve been to a show, you know what we’re talkin’ about.

  • Was awesome to have our debut show presented by PietschHouse. We had a great time and will always be happy to perform more events by this amazing group of people along side such an amazing artist group.

    Caravan Strange, Band

  • PietschHouse is a great group of people building up an art community in Austin. For me it's been great to meet and connect with artists and musicians, all while being given the chance to show my art off to the city.

    Andrew Dunlavey, Artist

  • Crucial Concerts for the Coming Week: Local rap greats take the stage for an intimate performance celebrating PietschHouse's second anniversary. The local production company curates showcases combining visual art and music, and notably threw the loaded New Bloom SXSW 2023 showcase at Planet K.

    The Austin Chronicle

  • An Eastside Evening: East Austin is the place to be this weekend, specifically along E. 12th St. Not only are there a lot of great shows to catch during the Eastside Kings Festival, but creative collective PietchHouse is offering a sneak peak of the Future Front House for Future Front Texas.

    KUTX

  • Playing PietschHouse was one of the best experiences I've had performing in Austin. I felt very well cared for and I can't express how crucial it was to have a gig that really valued paying artists at a time when a lot of shows exchanged that for exposure. As a musician, you sometimes have to take the exposure and I'm no stranger to that, but having this show allowed me to more freely take those other ones.

    Runnner, Band

  • Showcasing at PietschHouse is not just about selling - being a part of this community helps boost my socials, bring in other show opportunities, collabs, and I get to meet fellow artists who are basically my creative hype squad! I wouldn’t miss it for anything!
