Recspec is amorphous and ever-shifting.

Since 2009 we have existed primarily as a graphic design and web development studio in Austin, Texas. In 2017, we opened a small art gallery, serving our community and a collective of artists with near-monthly shows until the loss of our lease and the building in 2019. Another location was found at the end of 2019 where we were able to have two shows, until we were forced to close once again due to the pandemic in 2020. 

Hibernation occurred, but we continued with online shows and pop-ups until the opening of the Recspec Gallery Annex in 2024 - an experimental installation space in a shipping container - where we hosted 4 entirely immersive experiences. 

In the changing landscape of Austin (and with the loss of funding from the city), we've decided to release the stress of a physical location and drop the gallery from our name.

We are Recspec, and since our inception, we've prioritized community and creativity and will continue to do so. We plan to continue with curation, events, working with artists, and producing & presenting all manner of things. We're not going anywhere, if anything, now, we are everywhere.
