Full Gallop

What Full Gallop does

Full Gallop is a privately held, Austin, Texas-based creative events and programming firm founded in 2015 by Sarah Rucker. The company delivers three interconnected service lines — Creative Event Production (full-service planning and execution of cultural events and festivals), Community Engagement (outreach and long-term partner development), and Nonprofit Consulting (marketing and fundraising advisory) — primarily to nonprofit, arts, and community organizations in the Austin metro and broader Texas region.

Its revenue model is professional services, with engagements quoted per project rather than disclosed as recurring contracts. Notable productions include HAAM's 10th Anniversary (2015), DAWA's 5th Anniversary at the Long Center (2024), the SwanSongs Serenade, the Rancho Alegre Conjunto Music Festival, and events at venues such as Miller Outdoor Theatre in Houston, The Rosette, Doris Miller Auditorium, and Ani's Night and Day in Austin. The company also produces and presents its own branded programming, such as FG Presents Tammie Brown shows.

Full Gallop is bootstrapped and founder-operated, with no disclosed institutional funding, parent company, or subsidiaries. The team is small (1-10 employees, including founder Sarah Rucker and production manager Stacie Cline, who joined in 2021). There is no proprietary technology platform, no AI/ML capability, no app or API, and no patents or certifications disclosed — operations rely on standard creative-services tooling with the company website (Squarespace-hosted) and Ticket Tailor for event ticketing. Founder Sarah Rucker also started the Inclusion Riders Initiative ATX in 2018 and served as a founding board member of Austin Emerging Arts Leaders (2012-2019).
