In 2007, two artists in Kyoto kept walking past a little coffee shop called DORF. They took a photo of the sign and didn't think much more about it.

In 2018, priced out of their studio, Sara and Eric opened their South Austin garage to other artists. When they finally looked the word up, it meant village. That's a small village.

Eight years later, it lives at Zilker Point, pays every artist it works with, and keeps growing. This year, we're asking you to help it grow. Grow the village.

DORF is building a village of
artists, advocates, and innovators.

We are an independent, artist-centered organization committed to expanding creative opportunities in Austin. Our work is made possible by the generosity of community members who share our belief in the power of art. We invite you to support our future!
