• A three-hour set by Future Front Resident Artist DJ Beaujolais

Tickets are $10 by donation (*free for and hotel guests). Your ticket includes your pool pass—and is required to attend. This event is 18+. Attendees under 18 must be accompanied by a parent.

aka Gabrielle Rose (she/they) explores how two turntables and a mixer can make our vast world feel intimate. Having worked many years in the service industry, her infectious enthusiasm for music and craft food led her to open Try Hard Coffee Roasters, Austin’s first Japanese listening bar-styled cafe, where DJs and music heads shared their personal record collections with the community. She believes that such third spaces are the most powerful conduits for expressing culture and connecting people from all walks of life, and so she forms strong relationships with restaurants, bars, DIY venues and the vibrant DJ community in Austin to create immersive experiences that drive this ethos forward. Like a fruity Beaujolais, her sets should be enjoyed in good company and preferably with dancing.

VENUE LOCATION + ACCESSIBILITY — All Swim Sessions will be held at The Line Hotel Austin pool deck, which is located at 111 E Cesar Chavez St, Austin, Texas 78701. The venue is wheelchair-accessible and all activities will occur on the ground floor.

Since 2017, our strategic collaborations with the hotel—from art installations to community swims to The Front Festival—have generated $75,000+ in support for independent women & LGBTQ+ artists in Austin. Forever featuring emerging creatives, consider this series a love note to their work and an intro to the city we call home.

Homegrown in Austin, Future Front is a community space and exhibition series—with women and LGBTQ+ creatives at the front. As an arts and culture nonprofit, we’re mother to The Front Market, The Front Festival and The Work Conference. Beyond our flagship exhibitions, we host year-round shows, gatherings and workshops at our creative community space in Downtown East Austin. Everybody and every body are welcome. You can learn more about how it all works, our team and what we do: futurefronttexas.org

The Line Hotel Austin is located in Downtown Austin, Texas. Once home to a jazz club that broadcast live on local radio in the late 1960s, the hotel is part of Downtown history and holds a cultural legacy as unique as the city itself. Today, you can find a little bit of everything HERE—art, food, design—even nature.

THIS PROJECT IS SUPPORTED IN PART BY The City of Austin Economic Development Department, Tito’s Handmade Vodka, Texas Commission on the Arts, The LINE Hotel Austin, Pease Park Conservancy, the Red River Cultural District, Downtown Austin Alliance Foundation, Topo Chico, as well as Future Front’s donors and members. THANK YOU!
