Next: Music Industry

Art Island is a 100+ person art collective and creative agency I founded in 2018 in
Austin, TX.

We bring together artists, designers, producers, and cultural organizers to create immersive events, installations, and commissioned work and brand activations.  What began as a grassroots event series and network has evolved into a collaborative organization that is rooted in social causes and community.

We're produced unforgettable artworks and experiences, floating art raft The Spindrifter, flaming instrument The Fire Visualizer, original album Running Hot, and Burning Man honorarium work 1000 Hands

a Creative Community at the Intersection of Art & Experience
