We're calling it the pandemic edition, but
Big Medium and associates just call it the
Austin Studio Tour. It's that progressive arts organization's response to these damned 'ronas, is what it is. They're taking the annual
West Austin and
East Austin Studio Tours and
combining them, then presenting them
mostly via the internets – wherein the expanded website includes
artist profiles, images of
artworks, virtual
studio visits,
demonstrations,
artist talks, and a handy
map of outdoor installations and public art.
Hundreds of artists in this town, in full digital force. Note: The Tour begins with
a launch party on Fri., Nov. 13; it's a preview of the website (and an opportunity to acquire artwork before it opens generally on Nov. 14).
