“This is a community gathering space.” ☀️

We sat with Harold reflecting on moments like “Celebrate Black Austin” hosted by back in February and what it means to create spaces that go beyond nightlife and center community.

Seeing families, kids running around, people connecting, those are the moments that affirm the mission.

This is what has always been about. Watch the full interview on YouTube!

“What we do here this year has to be significant.” 🗣️💯

We sat down with Harold to talk about the future of Block 16 & 18 and the role this space plays in preserving and honoring Black history in Austin.

After 20 years, is entering its final season. And what happens next matters.

This is about more than development. It’s about culture, memory, and what we choose to carry forward.

Meet our April Blue House resident artist, Kalle Duncan ☀️.

An Austin-based muralist and multidisciplinary artist, Kalle’s work is shaped by her Chicana background and explores themes of grief, spirituality, and matriarchy. Her practice reflects both personal experience and a deeper connection to cultural memory.

With murals across Austin and exhibitions throughout Texas, she brings both perspective and presence into the Blue House this month.

Welcome, Kalle. 🎨
