Art City Austin This Weekend

Following a weeklong series of events for Art Week Austin, the city wide celebration of the arts will culminate this weekend at Art City Austin, formerly the Austin Fine Arts Festival. Organized by Art Alliance Austin, this annual event is the city's largest and longest running outdoor art fair, and features more than 200 established and emerging artists working in a range of mediums. In addition to all of the creative output, there will be local and organic food producers, interactive art projects, live music, and activities for the little ones.

On Saturday night, the lively Art After Dark Party takes place after hours, from 7 - 10 PM (ticket information here). Art City is held on Cesar Chavez Street from Colorado Street to Lamar Boulevard. Tickets are $8 for adults, children 12 and under are free. Keep your ticket because it will also get you into the Austin Museum of Art and the Blanton Museum of Art this weekend, free of charge. Both institutions receive a portion of the proceeds generously donated by Art City Austin.
