COMMUNITY CANVAS

Support Austin Creatives

Community Canvas is the fundraising platform for The Gallery ATX — and it’s powered by you.


Since 2015, we’ve supported and amplified hundreds of Austin artists through curated exhibitions, open studio shows, annual zines, markets, and experimental programming. We’ve built platforms for artists to share their work, their stories, and their perspectives.

We are a volunteer-led 501(c)(3).


We do this because we believe culture deserves infrastructure — and artists deserve support.


Community Canvas helps us keep going — and grow.

Why Your Support Matters

When you give to The Gallery ATX, you are directly funding:


  • 🎨 Artist stipends (supplies, installs, shipping, materials)
  • 📚 Printing and producing Mujer Manifesto
  • 🎪 Art in ATX events (live performances, workshops, marketing)
  • 🎬 Expanding programming (film fest, zine fest, collaborative shows)
  • 🌐 The operational backbone that keeps everything running (domain fees, design, promotion)


Every dollar stays local.
Every dollar circulates within Austin’s creative community.

We’re not just producing events.
We’re building platforms.
We’re creating access points.
We’re sustaining culture.

Pay with PayPal or a debit/credit card

A Note From Us

The Gallery ATX is built by artists, writers, curators, volunteers, and community members who believe Austin’s creative ecosystem deserves to thrive.


We don’t have full-time staff.
We don’t have major institutional backing.
We have community.


Community Canvas is an invitation to invest in something grassroots, artist-centered, and future-forward.


If you’ve ever attended one of our markets, picked up a zine, exhibited with us, or felt seen in one of our spaces — this is your chance to help sustain it.
