Call Directions Contact the organization

Six Square Austin's Black Cultural District Preserves the rich heritage & cultural contributions of East Austin's historical African American community through social programs and economic dev.

Six Square is the nexus of thriving Black arts and culture in Central East Austin. We re-animate cultural spaces, connect community, and honor the past, present, and future of Austin’s Black Cultural District. We envision a vibrant future for the District that grows from the rich legacy and cultural contributions of Austin’s Black community.

“The District is six square miles of historic geographic sites that we are preserving for future generations. We are creating an incubation space where art and culture can be celebrated and enjoyed and brought to the limelight, not just for the community who lives here, but for all of Austin and Austin’s visitors.” -- James Nortey, Six Square Board member

Something new is getting ready to pull up in the district. 🖤

Tater Que Express is bringing its food truck to Six Square, and while they’re not open just yet, we couldn’t resist giving them an early welcome.

We love seeing new businesses and new energy becoming part of the district, and we’re looking forward to seeing what Tater Que Express brings to the neighborhood.
