As a self-described “creative brand,” Brown State of Mind dabbles thoughtfully in a bit of everything, all around aiming to lift up people of color involved in the arts. This manifests in curated community events, educational meetups dubbed “Brown State University,” and a lovely web presence highlighting the work and poetry submissions of artists around Texas. Notably, their recurring Green Room concert series rounds up fresh finds in rap, R&B, and electronic from around the U.S. Now over a year old, the creative clearinghouse emphasizes voices often skipped over in the city of Austin.
