Drew Austin (b.1996) is an interdisciplinary artist and curator living and working in Denver, CO. He grew up in Great Falls, Montana, and attended the Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design, in Denver, which he graduated from in 2017 with his BFA as Valedictorian.
Austin is the Curator and a Board Member for Leon Art Gallery, the Program Manager for The Wayfaring Band, as well as a contributing editor for The Thalweg. He previously worked as the Curator of Visual Arts at The Dairy Arts Center, Exhibitions Curator for ReCreative Denver, and put together independent curatorial projects in spaces such as Redline Denver, The Temple Artist Studios, The Denver Armory, and Alto Gallery.
Portrayed primarily through drawing, sculpture, and light-based installation, Austin’s work functions as a conduit for understanding and comprehension of everyday things—mundane situations, queer experience, domestic space, slow growth, and light—both large and small in a human-dominated world.
