Airtable Events Database
This document is an ever evolving archive that we pull statistics and information off of. An ongoing task is to use mailchimp and the google calendar for events to keep this document updated to the best of your ability.
Practical Things
Trash & Recycling
Trash goes to the dumpster which is out the front door toward Lyons (left). Zac will text you the code to the dumpster lock. Recycling bins are blue and normally out front of the door nearest to the bathroom. Please break down boxes so they can fit in the recycling bins.
Fire Extinguishers
In case of emergency, there are 5 fire extinguishers located around the building within 30ft of any location. Starting from the front entrance of the building moving left:
- On the hallway going to the studios passing the bathroom.
- Common area to the left of the tools and attic ladder.
- Left of garage entrance on the gallery area.
- At the end of the hallway directing to the studios off the gallery area, to the left.
- Just to the left after the door by the porta potties
- In addition to that, there is a first aid kit to the left of the shower. Calling 911 for bigger emergencies helps too!
Fire Safety
Please please please, no open flames in MoHA. Always remember to turn off space heaters before you leave. Dispose of any oil based paints and rags in a proper fashion. Its an old wooden warehouse and its very important that we stay thoughtful and aware!
Wifi Password and Locations
Zac will text you the wifi password.
There are various networks at MoHA:
- MoHA, MoHA5g, & MoHA Guest are all closest to the bathroom
- MoHA2 is closest to the concrete floor on the other side of the building
- MoHA trailers is outside in the yard near the garden
- The Mall is inside of The Mall
Doors
The front door (up the concrete stairs) and the double doors by the portapotty lock behind themselves, just make sure to shut them tightly. Your MoHA key will open both doors.
The bay doors all open via a latch that you need to pull away from the door railing. Some of the doors can be sticky and a trick to get the latch to close or open is to put your foot on the bottom of the door while you pull. They are old so please open and close them slowly.
If you open a bay door either be the one to shut the door or make eye contact with another person in the space and tell them you’re leaving and ask if they want you to shut it or if they can shut it once they leave. Please don’t leave the space without a bay door behind you.
Lights & Breakers
The gallery lights are located on the wall in the gallery as a set of 8 switches. Each switch has a dimmer on the side of the switch. Above this set of switches there is a breaker box. This box is most likely the only breaker box any artist will need to ever touch.
The only breaker in this box that people need to normally use is “#27 - Work Lights”. This breaker will turn on a handful of the sulfide halogen overhead lights. These lights take about 5 min to warm up and if you shut them off they need 10 min to cool down before being turned on again.
Getting Locked Out
If you get locked out, there is a lock box on the handrail of the front door. Please return the key to the lockbox after you use it. Zac will text you the code to the lock box.
We have a selection of shared tools and hardware at MoHA.
Only use the shared tools in the space if you have already signed the liability waiver and have prior experience with using powertools. If you have already signed the waiver but want a tutorial on using any tool, contact Zac. You can absolutely hurt yourself using some of the tools improperly, so please be careful and do not use any tool you aren’t sure about. All tools are marked in the tool area which is right before the door to the bathroom.
All powertools should be put back in the place you found it. We try to keep this section organized and it takes a substantial amount of effort. Please contribute by putting things back or keeping the shared tools section nicer than you found it.
Ask Zac for a more substantial tour if you’d like one.
Materials and Hardware
MoHA has lots of stuff around! Some screws, lightbulbs, scrap wood etc... are no big deal to use and feel free to leave stuff in an organized fashion that you think others might use. Things like sheets of plywood, numerous shelf brackets, substantial amounts of paint etc... just ask Zac. Its an esoteric system of materials exchange, but use your discretion and ask if you’re ever unsure.
MoHA History
The Family Tree
The following organizations are frequently referred to as the family tree of MoHA. They are organizations that have autonomy of decisions and oversight but also compliment the whole and make up the broad community. A good point of reference for this is the “whoa chart” included in the sponsorship deck, however in practice it just takes time to see how all these things compliment the whole. Collaboration between these organizations should always be viewed as a priority and a place where there is room for improvement
Current
Unlisted Projects
International Artist Residency with an ongoing partnership with both the Foreign Ministry of Mexico and Denmark.
Fantastic Arcade
We celebrate, amplify, and support the unique and underrepresented within indie games and beyond.
Welcome to my Homepage
Welcome to my Homepage is an international online residency program that offers artists a no-cost, low-stakes opportunity to expand their practice in new directions, explore the web as a site for creative production, and reach a new audience. For visitors, the Homepage is an accessible art venue that aims to promote net.art appreciation and conversation both online and IRL. Welcome to my Homepage was founded in 2014 and has since hosted over 65 artists from across the world wide web.
IRL
IRL’s mission is to empower a more diverse population of artists to use digital technology in their work, to create a dedicated space for public engagement with cutting-edge digital artworks, and to encourage artists to repurpose emerging and ubiquitous digital technologies in creative and unexpected ways.
The Mall
The Mall is a small art gallery in Austin, TX. We help artists make a living, with a particular interest in uplifting women artists, queer artists, and artists of color whose voices are more often marginalized, and to create an exciting and beautiful platform and context for their work. A majority of our gallery features works from Austin artists, and is exemplary of the unique culture of Austin. Beyond a space for exhibition, The Mall also actively facilitates education and community via four workshops annually, and the creation of new art via commissions of editioned work.
The Cage Match Project
Cage Match Project Gallery lives in an industrial caged-trailer. Measured at 20’x8’x7’, this weathered and rusted container resides in a gravel parking lot in Austin, TX where it is under constant exposure to the elements and 24-hour public viewership. By fully embracing the caged-trailer as both literal and conceptual context, Cage Match Project purposefully stages a narrative of the artist-at- odds, with either history, space, or a work of art itself.
Drive-In
A series of drive-in movies and in-car activities at The Museum of Human Achievement.Our Mission, an enjoyable community cinematic experience. Guests can attend in their car or on a reserved 12′ x 4′ wooden platform outside. Screenings will be broadcast via a radio station for movie audio and guests will be provided with a walkie talkie for optional socializing.
Station to Stations
An international artist residency and gallery housed within the destination sign of a former San Antonio city bus that now serves as a mobile performance platform. As the bus travels from place to place, or station to stations, the destination sign features text-based ideas from around the globe, transforming the bus into a moving network.
Upcoming
Peanut
A 90s city bus, “Peanut,” retrofitted to become an accessible and approachable hub for transportation between communities as well as a physical space to support conversations, gatherings and performances taking place directly within the neighborhoods Peanut seeks to serve. Because DIY platforms are built upon grassroots relationship-building, our community outreach program is as integral to our process as the performance itself. Peanut is an artist and community-driven collaboration that places arts and community in direct contact in order to celebrate the voices of under-resourced communities.
