Here's the 2022 Austin Studio Tour, a free, self-guided celebration of visual art, offering deep looks inside the working areas and showrooms of Austin-based artists and creative collaboratives, three weekends of special exhibitions and installations and craft demonstrations and, well, you there's likely to be all manner of afterparties rocking the town north, south, east, and west, besides.
Been a while now. Been a pandemic, come and gone. And now, this year, the Austin Studio Tour is back in full and brimming with at least 500 participating artists. This year, the three-weekend tour is all over the city, the geographical boundaries expanded to include all 10 City Council districts. The first weekend highlighted the west; the second, it's a combo of west/east; the third, it's the east.
"This will be the first time I've participated from my own studio," she explained."In the past I've been part of group efforts at other venues, so I'm very excited to be opening my actual work space alongside my artwork. I think my process will be much more evident. The tour's a great excuse to clean up my studio and take a look at my various bodies of work.
