And that means what, exactly?
Because, c’mon, for fuck’s sake, this city has art of one kind or another gushing forth like so much blood from the severed carotid of a raging manticore every single night of the week, right? What makes this so-called ‘Art Night Austin’ on Friday so remarkably special?
Well, listen:
This is the Art Alliance Austin expedition that kicks off the East Austin Studio Tour in chauffered-and-catered style, giving you a chance to preview and purchase works at several venues before the weekend’s vast hordes descend. A series of AAA buses will keep the canny artlovers and cultural sybarites flowing among exhibitions and beveraged snackery and DJ enhancements at Domy Books, Bearded Lady, Co-Lab, Blue Genie, Big Medium, Brocca Gallery, and Fisterra Studio, and the night’s excellent itinerary continues into the oui hours with a Landmarks co-hosted party with David Ellis at Pine Street Station. Register while you still can!
