Sound Bath in the Treehouse at Pease Park

Posted on March 9, 2022 by Clarett C.

The Future Museums’ Healers Ensemble will perform a Sound Bath in the Treehouse at Kingsbury Commons from 5pm – 7pm.

Brought to you by Aural Canyon and Pease Park Conservancy, these healing sounds are free for park visitors to enjoy! You are welcome to hang in the top of the Treehouse and enjoy the music for a while (we will monitor the number of people in the top of the Treehouse to ensure that it does not exceed capacity).

If you would like to reserve a spot to listen to the music in the bottom of the Treehouse where the performers will be, you can register for a spot here.

Austin Nonprofit Revitalizes City Using Unique Art

Posted on May 31, 2012 by Dustin Vegas

Looking for a date spot in Austin this weekend? Well hold on and let me tell you about a unique place you can check out with your significant other. Austin is known for its off-the-wall approaches to art. This weekend, you have a chance to get an artistic take on something you may have seen a thousand times before, just never like this.

Local artist Heather Trolleston has been working with the “Urban Musuem,” named Art on the Way, to display her Spiral Plexus artwork.

Art On The Way (AOTW) is an Austin nonprofit organization/museum which purposefully utilizes public and private plots of land that would otherwise fall into disuse. AOTW reclaims this land and does something incredibly special and beautiful it. You may have seen a few of their older displays driving across the city. Basically, they transform forgotten pieces of land into venues where local artists can [Read more…]

Pushing Boundaries at AMOA-Arthouse’s Austin Art Exhibit

Posted on April 18, 2012 by Dustin Vegas

Austin art is the heart and soul of this city. Dallas has its shopping malls and sky scrapers. Fort Worth has railroads and industry. Lubbock has…sand.

Our art is what makes this city so characteristically weird and eclectic. From live music to oil painting – it doesn’t matter. There is nothing more Austin-esque than creating, appreciating and supporting local Austin art.

Luckily for us Austinites, the AMOA-Arthouse at the Jones Center is currently hosting its annual Five x Seven art exhibit and fundraiser. You can support one of most eclectic museums in town by purchasing inexpensive and handmade local art. Which is much better than sand.

The Five x Seven exhibit is based on a challenge. Years ago this Austin art museum challenged artists to submit works of art that were no bigger than five by [Read more…]

The Blanton – A Great Austin Museum For UTexas Students

Posted on April 3, 2012 by Dustin Vegas

Visiting an Austin museum can be a rare experience for UTexas students who would rather spend their downtime on 6th Street. The Blanton Museum of Art, however, is something every Longhorn should take the time to see. I spent an afternoon walking around the museum to pin down exactly why I love it so much. If you haven’t been, I definitely encourage you to spend some time enjoying its many exhibits.

The museum is ever-changing and alive because Blanton’s collection grows and changes all the time. No two visits to the Blanton Museum are the same. I remember visiting their Turner to Monet exhibition once and, despite my deep respect for the 19th century masters, intended to skip the exhibit during my next visit. But alas, the museum had moved on to a new exhibit by the time I returned! The museum has exhibited everything from famous portraits to Central American folk art. [Read more…]
