The HOPE Outdoor Gallery was launched in March 2010 at "The Foundation" a failed condo development from the 1980's on Baylor St. in downtown Austin. With the help of contemporary artist Shepard Fairey and hundreds of participating artists this outdoor gallery concept became internationally known as the only art park of its kind in the USA. It was developed to provide muralists, street artists, arts education classes and community groups the opportunity to display outdoor art driven by inspirational, positive, and educational messaging.

The original location on Baylor St. officially closed on January 2, 2019 to help begin the transition process and grow awareness for the future permanent home out by the Austin Airport. The new location will allow us to expand upon our rich foundation of art education classes, community events, and more professional development for Austin creative community. Check out the most up to date information, and follow along as we build our new 17 ache park.

This campaign inspired us to create Murals and Mentors, Creative Camps, Study Hall, and many other programs to continue to provide art opportunities, education, and inspiration for artists of all ages and skill levels.
