At EAST 2012, artists & studios often share the same building to help them inspire & create. The building at 507 Calles Street in Austin serves as one of those spaces. Here meet artists from the East Side Glass Studio creating glass sculptures & providing lessons to public on glassblowing. At Sky Candy, we see artists glide down silk sashes & share their passion for aerial performances. One building, many forms of creation.

Beyond the humble entrance for the Umlauf Sculpture Garden & Museum lies an outdoor artistic experience for all your senses. What started as an amazing gift of land and artwork from Charles and Angeline Umlauf, this property has become a destination for nature and art lovers with both figurative and abstract pieces of sculpture. Activities fill the calendar of the garden & museum year round and many an Austin bride hope to say “I do” at this special place.

In September 2011, the most destructive wildfire in Texas history raged through Bastrop County, TX. The Bastrop County Complex Fire destroyed 1,667 homes, burned 33,033 acres and claimed two lives. This blaze devastated the region’s signature Loblolly pine population and further compromised the habitat of the endangered Houston Toad. ART from the ashes takes its mission to Texas to support the Lost Pines Recovery Team’s restoration efforts for the Lost Pines Region of Bastrop County, TX. The exhibition from April 28 – May 5, 2012 showcased over 70 works of art donated by Texas based artists and ART from the ashes. In AFTA’s spirit of “Support. Inspire. Create. Renew,” works featured will incorporate materials salvaged from fire site locations in Bastrop County. Proceeds support the efforts of the Lost Pines Recovery Team.

Spiral Plexus will be on exhibit March 11 – June 9, 2012.
