Austin art lovers go WEST

Big Medium’s annual West Austin Studio Tour is happening May 12-13 and 19-20 this year. During WEST, studios within the boundaries west of I-35, east of MoPac Expressway, south of U.S. Highway 183, and North of William Cannon open their doors from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., and members of the public are invited to visit with artists and learn about their works and creative process. Various “Pit Stops” – neighborhood businesses that have pledged a percentage of their profits to the the tour – provide chances for rest and refreshment along the way, and a party at the Lawn at Seaholm on May 10 from 7 to 10 p.m. will kick the whole thing off.
