WHAT’S A DORF?
ABOUT DORF
DORF is an artist-run contemporary art space founded in 2018 and grounded in the belief that community and access are essential to cultural innovation. Through exhibitions, residencies, and fellowships, DORF provides a platform for artists and advocates whose work amplifies marginalized voices and advances social dialogue.
In 2024, DORF opened a new location at the Zilker Point building in a landmark partnership between public and private entities that allows DORF to occupy the space for $1 per year — a model that reflects its commitment to sustainability and equity in the arts.
DORF has received recognition in publications like Texas Monthly, Sightlines Magazine, The Austin Chronicle, Glasstire, Southwest Contemporary, and more, and received “Best New Experimental Art Gallery” in The Austin Chronicle.
