The Lot on 12th has become more than a space to us.

It’s become a place for artists to experiment, for community to gather, and for new ideas to take root. Every event, mural, workshop, and conversation continues to shape what this space can be.

Grateful for everyone who’s been part of it so far. ☀️

“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!
