THE END (OF 2025) IS NIGH
The end of 2025 is nigh, and we're happy to report it was another great year here at Co-Lab Projects! As you wrap up the year and make your contributions, please consider supporting our programs and artists. The success of these innovative projects depends on the generosity and support of art enthusiasts like you. Help us make 2026 another groundbreaking year for our ambitious exhibitions, performances, and public programs!
In 2025 we produced solo exhibitions of new work from Juan Cisneros (Austin), Mauricio Alejo (CDMX), and Mark Menjívar (San Antonio), and two group exhibitions collectivly featuring eighteen Austin-based artists (Alejandra Almuelle, Alexandra Robinson, Amy Chiao, Bethany Johnson, Chris Burch, Dana Perrotti, Frank Zhu, Jacqueline Overby, Katherine Vaughn, Lisa Woods, Mathew McIntyre, Michael Villarreal, Raul Buitrago, Rebeca Proctor, Scott Proctor, Shikha Joshi, Tiffany Smith, and Tim Schmidt.). Plus a dinner experience with Michelin Bib Gourmand chef Giuseppe Lacorazza at the famous East Austin diner Ciscos', a concert/mini-festival across the three stages of Hotel Vegas, a listening party in the record library of Sergio and Carolina Alcocer, the launch party for Friends Fair, our annual fundraiser Cowboy XMAS, additional public programs, performances, member meetups, talks, the studio tour, annual donor dinner, and more! As always, every artist who participated in these programs was paid in accordance with W.A.G.E. national standards.
In 2026, we will produce exhibitions and performances of new work by Mark Flood (Houston), Victoria Shen (San Francisco), Isadora Stowe (Las Cruces), Fabiola Torres-Alzaga (CDMX), Justo Cisneros (San Antonio), and an open call/group exhibition of Austin-based artists who have not previously exhibited with us. In addition to these primary projects, we will also produce ancillary public programs, dinners, member events, listening parties, plus our annual summer benefit concert and winter fundraiser. Help us knock it out of the park again and give generously before the year is over. Your contributions are integral to making it all possible!
Above all, Co-Lab Projects is about community, and we are proud to have you in ours.
Thank you for your support, happy holidays, and we'll see you in 2026!
- Team Co-Lab
BEST OF 2025
