MASS was founded 16 YEARS AGO in 2006 in the former auto body shop at the Blue Theater complex by a group of UT MFA grads. We are and have always been a collective of artists and art enthusiasts, and in order to continue our work in Austin, we are asking our community to support us in our goal of raising $30,000 by June 10th! This event included an expansive auction of artworks from our wonderful community in addition to performances and libations (see images here).

The funds we raise will go towards paying our rent for the next 6 months, allowing us to continue to operate in our space, and enabling us to carry out our mission of creating a site for creative and social action in collaboration with artists and organizations from and for the LGBTQIA+ community.
