Become a Friend of DORF!

DORF is an artist-run 501(c)(3) nonprofit with (at this point) a very small team. We have used our space and programming as an advocacy platform for social change, and an exhibition and gathering space for Austin- and Texas-based artists and community. We have received recognition in publications like Texas Monthly, Sightlines Magazine, The Austin Chronicle, Glasstire, Southwest Contemporary, and many more, and received “Best New Experimental Art Gallery” in The Austin Chronicle.

Since 2018 we have given a platform and space to over 80 artists and produced three performances, a video shorts screening, a poetry reading, two live mural paintings, two live screen printing offerings, and three silent auction benefits. We have distributed over $18K in artist stipends and raised over $15K for local non-profit advocacy organizations. In 2022 we are continuing our socially engaging exhibitions and programming, growing our board, increasing our organizational capacity–and will have exciting news to share in the coming months regarding our future!

Your donation will help us provide programming, commissions, and stipends for working artists. Your support boosts our capacity as an organization so that we can continue to provide spaces for Austin- and Texas-based artists, partner with community members, nonprofits, and small businesses, and bring exceptional, thought-provoking cultural programming to Austin.

DORF is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt public charity and your donation is fully tax-deductible.
