Church of the Friendly Ghost

Church of the Friendly Ghost is a 100% volunteer-run arts organization supporting creative expression and counter-culture community. The collective was originally established in the fall of 2003 by a group of friends residing in/behind an old church on Pedernales St. in east Austin, Texas. Over the years the DIY organization has presented over one thousand events to date including concerts, art exhibitions, workshops, film screenings and other cultural events. In 2007, COTFG became a sponsored project of Salvage Vanguard Theater 501(c)(3)and re-located to a performance space on Manor Rd.

The Church of the Friendly Ghost series of concerts is made possible by community patrons, and through a partnership with Salvage Vanguard Theater. This project is funded and supported in part by the City of Austin through the Cultural Arts Division and by a grant from the Texas Commission on the Arts and an award from the National Endowment for the Arts.
