A conversation between studio artist Francisco Alvarado Araujo and Easyside co-founder Corrie Thompson.
Easyside is a volunteer-and-artist run 501(c)(3) organization, started in the spring of 2022 by artists Adrianna Touch, Fernando Alvarez, & Corrie Thompson, along with musician & entrepreneur John Paul Thompson. Adrianna, Fernando, & Corrie met in the MFA program at TCU, and the Thompsons have been East Fort Worth residents since 2018. Outside of our own creative practices, we bring together a wealth of experience, having worked with other nonprofits, galleries, institutions, and startups.
In the summer of 2023, we opened a multi-purpose facility featuring seven artist studios, a workshop, a gallery, and a space for food distribution. As we head into the fall we are starting our first food distribution program in partnership with 4DWN Projects of Dallas.
We are looking for community feedback, volunteers, organizational partners, & sponsors. Your support for Easyside directly helps artists.

Easyside provides a home for contemporary artists and a hub for food access.
Easyside is in need of sustaining members who are able to donate on a regular basis to support our community of artists.
We are also looking for volunteers, committee members, and board members.
Easyside is committed to elevating historically marginalized voices. To do this, we work to see individuals and communities through the lens of intersectionality. Our belief is that a better understanding of our overlapping/intersecting identities will lead to a better understanding of the systems of discrimination that we seek to overcome.
