Art Alliance Austin

Art Week Austin kicks off tomorrow and gradually culminates with this weekend's Art City Austin. We'll be posting a daily summary of Art Week Austin highlights. Wednesday's schedule commences with only a few events, but don't forget that Fusebox Festival starts on Thursday and will add to the critical mass of significant cultural happenings going on this week. Here's what's going on tomorrow:

Art Ride: Public Bike Tour: Throughout Art Week, Mellow Johnny's and UT student docents will be leading easy rides to public art installations downtown and on campus. Highlights will include stops at the outdoor commissions for the Texas Biennial and pieces from UT's Public Art Program. For locations and route information, visit Mellow Johnny's site.

Art Talk: Temporary Outdoor Gallery Space 2: This Art Talk will take place at BoConcept (430 W 2nd St) and starts at 6:30. Members of AIA Austin and the Austin Foundation for Architecture will present the second installment of the Temporary Outdoor Gallery Space project. This year's finalist will be announced at this event. The 2008 TOGS Winner, A Little Room from designers Amy Wynne and Mark Leveno, will be on display for this year's Art Week. The Temporary Outdoor Gallery competition looks for architectural installations that can exist impermanently and provide gallery space for outdoor festivals like Art City Austin.
