A Capital Campaign Rooted in Community

The E4 Youth Homecoming Block Party on October 12, 2025, offers a powerful sneak preview of the center, featuring:

  • AR walking tours with a 3D avatar of Jacob Fontaine

  • Bus tours led by Black Austin Tours

  • Live storytelling and performances

  • Local food and vendors rooted in East Austin’s cultural identity

This event also launches our Capital Campaign, which will run through Juneteenth 2026, to fund the center’s development and secure long-term community impact. Our goal is to raise early support from partners, donors, and residents who believe in the power of Black legacy and innovation.

 

“Black East Austin was wonderful. We could eat, go to music venues, people watched out for your house if you were gone.”
