Each event is designed to highlight creativity and diversity, from the people we share space with to the creative mediums featured, to musical genres that take the stage. Our events are always different, always evolving, and always organized to be an experience you’ll want to share with your friends and maybe even your enemies (who are really just soon-to-be friends).

We make entry a low financial barrier for all participating artists with no commission. For musicians, bands are paid competitive rates and are never asked to play for free or below worth. Look, we know Austin is a vast and beautiful creative landscape that is often not showcased or valued by high-level institutions in the way it deserves. The creative aspect of this city is the reason people are drawn here. We’d venture to guess it’s part of what drew you here. So we’re working to keep the scene funded and thriving.

Our purpose is to help Austin-based creatives be seen, get paid, and build a community that shares, supports, and revels in that. We know that whether you’re trying to make a living as an artist or not, it’s not always easy out there. The rent is due, the sun is ever more insistent on melting your face, and sometimes you eat day-old breakfast tacos and your stomach hurts. That’s why we’re here—to support creatives while providing a fun and welcoming atmosphere for all those who appreciate them.
