The Gallery ATX Presents: Studio Works

Most Austin artists don't have a studio. They make work in bedrooms, at kitchen tables, and on apartment floors, wherever there's space. For one afternoon on the closing day of Austin Studio Tour, 8 of them are building pop-up studios in the backyard of Central Machine Works. Come see how they work, meet the people behind the art, and take some home.

What's happening:
🎨 Pop-up studios: art to see, art to buy, and the sketchbooks, tools, and materials behind it
✂️ Hands-on making: create a mini collage with Carson Whittaker or a cyanotype print with Kitsune Hirano
🖊️ Live demos: watch a pen plotter draw in ink, slip casting and tape-resist ceramics, and oil painting from life
🔨 Live auction: artists make new work during the event, auctioned at the end of the day
🛂 Studio Works Passport: pick one up at The Gallery ATX table and collect a sticker from all 8 artists

Artists: Mixed Marcie, Kitsune Hirano, Carson Whittaker, Pressed Geometry, Alex Bestor, Maddi Hurd, Garrett Skupinski, and CB Clay
