Art Opening: A Scanner Darkly Artists

It seems likely that many of you hold an academic interest in the rendering of Winona Ryder's bare, fruitful bosom by the team of artists who collaborated with Richard Linklater on his lauded animated release, A Scanner Darkly.

If this accompanies a more overarching curiosity about the artistic process and a desire to see original sketches and prints by the same illustrators, you might wanna motorscooter over to the AAVA tonight for the opening of Beyond Scanner: The Animators' Showcase. Many of the animators themselves will be present, so put on your good shoes!

A consolation prize for those who can't find their good shoes or their motorscooters: check out Robert Downey, Jr. and Richard Linklater discussing Scanner here.

Also, please note this evening's event details below.

The Austin Visual Arts Association gallery space is located at 38th and Home Lane,1.5 blocks east of Guadalupe. Tonight's opening will feature music and food, and run from 7-11pm. Suggested admission is $2. Beginning tomorrow, the exhibit will be FREE to the general public, and will be open from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. Tues.-Thurs. and 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. Fri-Sat from July 28 to August 12.
