Art Comes Alive at "Art Outside"
March 23rd - 26th and March 30 - April 2nd, 2006
South Austin, Texas – The acclaimed community art show Art Outside returns for its second year with over 200 visual and performing artists to lay the foundation for a revolutionary and one-of-a-kind artistic endeavor. Art Outside reinvents the art show by adding new frequencies to the art spectrum and placing them outside the contemporary gallery "box" so the art can be experienced, not simply viewed. This show features sculptures, installations, paintings, performances, and other works incapable of being categorized that escape the confines of the mainstream art world's "classist" niche and appeal to a broader audience. Art Outside is truly an art show for the masses.
The canvas for this collaborative artistic experiment is the Enchanted Forest, three acres of wooded bliss at the side of Bouldin Creek in the heart of South Austin. By combining an eclectic array of artists and media with nontraditional viewers of art and placing them in a unique and unsettling location, Art Outside transforms all who participate. Ambitious artistic endeavors placed in a natural setting electrify the mind, sparking new associations and ideas that cannot be conceived at any other art show.
The festival brings to Austin a multitude of painters, sculptors, musicians, fire artists, performers, and creators of other worlds from all over the country and the great state of Texas. For a complete listing of artists, performances, and times, please visit http://www.ArtOutside.org. The end of March will bring artistic thrills never before experienced.
Tickets are $5 during the day and $10 at night. Full weekend access passes can be purchased for $15 before March 23rd and for $20 during the event. Children 12 and under will be admitted free of charge.
