In 2007, Jake Bryer and Joel Ganucheau began devoting their weekends to starting a gallery for local artists and local art buyers. Six months later, they quit their day jobs and Austin Art Garage became their full time gig. Tonight, the savvy entrepreneurs are celebrating the grand opening of Austin Art Garage's new exhibit space, an expansion that nearly doubles the size of the existing gallery. The first exhibit in the new space showcases over forty pieces by Catherine Hart. Her abstract illustrations are soft and organic, reminiscent of natural forms, particularly underwater scenes.

Don't miss the great art related events taking place this weekend! Here's a rundown of some of the highlights: This is the last weekend to see the Blanton's The Birth of the Cool exhibit. The museum is offering public tours of the Midcentury show (on Saturday at 2pm, and on Sunday at 2pm and 3pm) and is extending hours on Saturday until 8pm. The Blanton will also be screening the film Visual Acoustics a documentary study that follows architectural photographer Julius Shulman. Filmmaker Eric Bricker will be on hand to give a Q&A.

In addition to the art on display, stick around for sets by Crash Gallery, Magnet School, Taunto and Built by Snow, or pick up a brush and get to work: they're going to paint a mural during the show, and all guests are welcome to participate. A $5 suggested donation includes complimentary Tito's and Sweet Leaf Tea (trust us, it's a good combination), with some Austin's Pizza to boot.
