Creative Money ATX
I am Bri Landry and I grew up in Austin, Texas. I have seen the skyscrapers go up with the cost of living. Austin has always been a place for creatives and I want to find out how we can keep it that way. In this podcast, I will be talking to local artists to find out how they are affording Austin. I want to talk about money, successes, and failures. What does it take to make a living off your art in Austin?

Coka Treviño | Big Medium
In this episode, I sit down with Coka Treviño to explore the work of Big Medium, a cornerstone organization in Austin's creative community. We delve into the challenges they faced in 2024, including a fire in their new building, the loss of significant grant funding from the city, and a major change in leadership. Despite these hurdles, Big Medium continues to empower local artists through, events like the EAST and WEST studio tours. Coka shares how the organization is adapting and how artists can still benefit from its support. This episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating the ups and downs of Austin’s art scene!
