Events and Art Festivals: Austin Art Week

What: Austin Art Week & Austin Art City

Where: Austin, Texas

When: From Sunday the 18th of April to Sunday the 25th of April

For those of you in Texas, Austin Art Week is in full swing! The brainchild of the Art Alliance of Austin this event is a great reason to head down to the Lone Star State's capitol. Anyone who has ever been to Austin will agree, you never need a reason to go there. However, just in case you like to have reasons, Austin Art Week is a fabulous one. Why? Well perhaps because of the explosion of diverse activites that are featured, including happenings, live music, great food, and nearly 200 juried artists installations.*


So as typical of an event this great, there must be a catch. Unfortunately, it's not free. But it is pretty cheap. 15 bucks will get you a two-day pass to the Art City Austin event, free entrance to selected museums, plus a 10% museum store discount. 8 dollars gets you in on either the 24th or 25th. Not a bad deal for those on an art budget.** 


If you are not able to make it for the events from the 21st-23rd, just head down on the 24th for the weekends culminating Art City Austin events. Here is a link to the entire schedule of times and locations. Check it out and tell me how it went! 








Notes:
* In Texas, food is considered to be a particularly important social activity.
** Packages for the entire Art Week Events are $175 for the collector badge. 
The Art After Dark event did not occur this year. Sorry for any inconvenience that may have caused!
