Functioning as both an art exhibition and a fundraiser for Arthouse's exhibitions and educational programs, Five x Seven is a great opportunity to purchase small works by emerging and established artists for the fine price of $150 ($100 for Arthouse members), with $25 of your ticket price to Art Splurge counting as a credit off the purchase of one artwork. more ›

No canvas is too small for Austin jewelry designer Christy Klug. In fact, in her most recent work Klug draws directly onto enamel before casting and setting the handmade "stone" into intricately designed precious metal findings. Klug's work, which is available in galleries across the country, is bold and modern without being garish. Her love of jewelry design flourished after studying stained glass at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. Revisiting her fine art credentials, Klug is among 900 artists participating in Arthouse's FIVE x SEVEN art show and sale taking place this week. more ›

Arthouse's annual 5x7 art show and sale is right around the corner so we decided to ask this year's Guy In Charge to fill us in on the details. You may recognize James Moody from the Mohawk, or Transmission Entertainment, or Fun Fun Fun Fest, or Austin Monthly's Bachelor Issue, or well, he's just about everywhere these days. Moody is also the chair of the 5x7 committee and the mastermind behind this year's happenings. On Thursday, join Moody for the 5x7 Art Splurge - this swanky, catered affair will be the first opportunity to purchase art from over 900 participating artists. On Friday, the Art Social will feature music by Balmorhea and snacks from Frank. Due to construction at Arthouse, this year's 5x7 will be held at the Whitley Printing Building (at 301 Brazos) and the exhibit will only be on display in Austin Thursday through Sunday. Tickets to Thursday and Friday night's happenings can be purchased online and admission to the show on Saturday and Sunday is free. Proceeds from the sale of art (all pieces cost $100) go directly to the Arthouse's programs, exhibits, and education events which are always free to attend. more ›

Next week, Arthouse is continuing another annual art tradition by presenting this year's installment of their FIVE x SEVEN art show and sale. Each year, Arthouse asks hundreds of artists to contribute one (or more) pieces of art measuring five by seven inches to the exhibit. Each work is then sold for $100 - to keep the playing field level, and to assure that everyone is buying art because they like it (a novel idea, we know!), the artist's identity remains a secret until a purchaser has handed over a crisp Ben Franklin. Artists participating this year include Sterling Allen, Leah DeVun, Sam Sanford, Fritz Haeg, and nearly a thousand others. Although each artist is constrained by a small canvas size, many do amazing things and we've seen some amazing three dimensional and multi-media pieces at 5x7's past. more ›
