Easyside is an artist-led nonprofit nurturing artists and their neighbors through food, workspaces, exhibitions, and education.
We believe creative practice, food access, and community care are interconnected forms of support that help artists and neighborhoods thrive.
If you've ever been curious about what 'art+food' looks like, this video is for you.
Easyside started in 2022 with the goal of providing creative space for artists while fostering meaningful community engagement. At the time, Fort Worth had limited professional resources for artists in terms of places to work, to develop and display non-commercial work, or even to gather and grow as artists. Easyside set about to address these gaps while also galvanizing artists to contribute to solutions for East Fort Worth, an area in continued need of access to fresh food and creative opportunities. Addressing both basic and creative needs, Easyside strives to create an environment of inclusivity and abundance rather than competition and scarcity. Learn more at easyside.org.

Equity Statement
Easyside is committed to elevating historically marginalized voices. We work to see individuals and communities through the lens of intersectionality. We believe 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.
We envision a community in which everyone is welcomed into an exchange of knowledge, resources, and diverse perspectives, resulting in reliable nourishment for the body and the creative mind.
