Austin Gingerich

I’m Austin Gingerich, a co-founder of Silo Creative Community. 👋🏼

Silo creates environments that Creatives of all kinds feel safe in. We understand how important it is these days (and for young adults) to have places where they can be themselves through self-expression, connection, and experiential learning.

Our goal is to activate that deep passion inside of people to follow their dreams of becoming an artist by ACTUALLY showing them that it is possible to attain their dreams and aspirations. Our “why” is simple. We were in the same place a lot of artists were in, not knowing how to break through the noise of social media and feeling lost on how to make an impact greater than ourselves in our community. We are in process of learning the ins and outs of creativity, burnout, and boundaries, right alongside everyone else — owning our shortcomings and turning them into teachable moments for ourselves and others.

Behind it all is our mission is to build meaningful and sustainable community. We want to activate, empower, invest, equip, inspire, and give opportunities to those around us. There is power in being able to convert internet followers into in-person attendees, and we believe that comes from lifting eachother up. Over the 4 years we’ve had the pleasure of participating in community, we’ve amassed over 2,700 Instagram followers, held over 20 in person events, averaging above 60 attendees per tentpole event.
