Kenny Dorham’s Backyard was named after the jazz musician who once lived in the neighbourhood.  Located at 1106 E 11th, this 2-acre space is managed by Diverse Arts to bring East Austin a unique and creative community space.  Come visit our open air community art gallery, drop by when you hear the music, and check out the Diverse Arts and Sun Farm Kitchens calendar of events.
