“E.A.S.T. Victory Lap” will be the meeting place for the 500 artists and hundreds of E.A.S.T. participants on each weekend night of the tour. All donations from the four after-party events will benefit E.A.S.T., Austin Creative Alliance, and Capitol View Arts who all serve the east Austin arts community.
E.A.S.T.
For nine days in November, artist studios, art galleries, and various spaces all over east Austin will open up their doors to the public for the 10th East Austin Studio Tour. E.A.S.T. is a celebration of east Austin’s creative community and a chance for the public to get a behind-the-scenes look at working artists’ spaces and processes. Visitors can purchase art, see where artists work, and visit with artists about their art process. Additionally, a number of spaces will be presenting various art and performance events on all ends of the artistic spectrum.
