Girls Gotta Eat

In Girls Gotta Eat, the grocery store becomes a kaleidoscopic backdrop for cinematic portraits of drag performers grocery shopping. Sarah Bork’s colorful photographs explore a spectrum of identities and experiences beyond the traditional gender binary.

Inspired by a desire to mend division and reestablish connection, Bork highlights a community of creatives weaving gender exploration, joy and hope into the daily business of self care. With each vivid image, Bork invites us to be more inclusive by seeing the shared humanity of her subject’s gestures and actions.

Really Small Museum

SMALL can be BIG. The Really Small Museum is a (very small) white cube exhibition space that originated in 2021 to infuse art, celebration, conversation, and connection into two East Austin neighborhoods. Having featured works from over 60 artists, the impact of this community art project has extended far beyond the original front yards.

As part of the 2024-2025 Trail Conservancy | TEMPO Project on the Holly Lakefront Trail, Really Small Museum- Eco will center on collaborations with artists focused on the environment, ecology, sustainability and the natural world. Over the course of a year, it will showcase twelve artists including an exhibition of curator Juliet Whitsett’s own art advocating for threatened and endangered species

Artist Parents Community + Residency
An inclusive community of artists who are also parents or caregivers. Challenging the myth that caring for others is a death knell for your art practice and career.

Life experience as parents/caregivers has value and informs creative practice in unique and important ways. This must be part of the conversation around sustainable careers in the arts. What is learned as caregivers should be celebrated instead of hidden.
Since the project launched in 2023, it has provided free studio space to six artists in residence, hosted more than 20 meetups, and curated three exhibitions of our community member’s artwork.
