We are a melting pot of creatives bringing back the weird to pay it forward. We honor Austin’s old quirky culture and amplify the artists and makers who keep the city’s eclectic pulse alive — all through sustainable, resourceful creativity in our art, events, and community projects.

Through community building, eco-conscious projects, and safe spaces, we celebrate authenticity and weirdness. Bring Back the Weird is a place of belonging for those who are too weird to conform, where creativity thrives and the weird is welcomed.

As Austin has grown, the weird has waned, along with access to creative spaces and opportunities for unique voices to thrive. By fostering sustainable creativity and nurturing community-driven initiatives, we help keep the city’s eclectic spirit alive — for those who make it strange, vibrant, and unforgettable.
