E.A.S.T. celebrates its 10th tour!

The East Austin Studio Tour is a self-guided tour and celebration of east Austin’s creative culture! The 2011 East Austin Studio Tour will be a free nine day event, spanning across two weekends. From November 12 - 20, experience the vibrant energy of east Austin by exploring the work of hundreds of artists in their studios, gallery spaces and a number of exciting art events.

E.A.S.T is a unique opportunity for the community to get a behind-the-scenes look at working artists’ spaces and processes. Expand your art collection, learn more about an artist’s specific tools and techniques, watch a demonstration or simply talk with an artist about his or her work. Support your local economy and artists, see something new, and have fun!

E.A.S.T. began in 2003 when the founders of Big Medium (then known as Bolm Studios) - Shea Little, Jana Swec, and Joseph Phillips - got to talking with a few fellow east Austin artists about how they should open their studio doors one weekend and tell all their friends to come out and see their work and see the other studios too. What started as an informal networking idea with friends soon snowballed into a full-on studio tour...

Artist studios, galleries and cultural spaces in east Austin will open their doors to the public for the community-to participate in east Austin’s creative spirit. Thousands of people will engage with artists’ spaces, galleries and art happenings, guided by the full-color E.A.S.T. catalog and map. As E.A.S.T. evolves, it upholds its mission to bring together our extraordinary neighborhood in a celebration of creativity.
