The Projecto is happy to present awarded artist, Ernesto Walker, for EAST 2018.

This year we’re doing things a bit differently, we partnered with the awesome people at Furman+Keil Architects who have generously provided a brand new space for Ernesto’s geometrical magic to happen: 2 weekends, 1 artist, all the love.

The festivities will begin on November 9th at Furman + Keil Architect’s new space, come and be one of the first to experience “The Flea and the Acrobat” plus some of Ernesto’s showstoppers, accompanied by our lovely sponsors Topo Chico, the always delicious Hendrick’s Gin & our one and only Pennyback Tonics ❤

Can’t wait to show you what we’ve been preparing for you, let the most exciting season in Austin Arts begin!

Cheers!

I’ve had the pleasure to work with Erin Kuykendall for over a year now; she’s not only fun to be around, but also, a creative, outspoken, proactive soul filled with contagious energy to fight the good causes with you.

Erin is the editor in chief for The Audacity, a local publication composed of artists, activists, and storytellers, that has inspired me and many others to see things differently and taking a stand.

The Audacity team will be on site promoting their zine and also bringing artist Vero Caceres to our lovely Studio #95.

Come say hi, meet Erin and her team of trendsetters, have a drink with them and toast for a more beautiful world in the making.

by Akki | EAST 2017

art, austin, austin tx, entrepeneur, museums, texas, Uncategorized

Can’t say enough great things about Akki. I don’t think I know anyone as positive, talented and hard-working; Whatever she imagines, she makes into reality, and it is always AWESOME. She draws, paints, sews, pastes, stands for your rights (to party and the important ones too ;P ) etc.

She’ll be representing #TheProjecto at the EAST Group Exhibition, and present at our 2 studios both days (Nov 18th & 19th), meeting you, sharing her impressive variety of art products and making you smile 😀

Oh and just for you to get an idea of the coolness of this artist, let me tell you that she has collaborated with all three separately, The Projecto, collective blue & The Audacity! No connection in between, just people looking for outstanding creatives, and getting to Akki’s territory, nice!

Ah, and before I forget, along with our exclusive organizations and artists, we have the most amazing sponsors! Among them: Topo Chico, Flor de Caña, Mighty Fine, Rudy’s BBQ, Dang Foods & More, so… YUM!

Clint Roth | EAST 2017

art, austin, austin tx, entrepeneur, food, music, reviews, texas, Uncategorized

I’ve known artist Clint Roth for a few years now; A super creative, fun person to be around. One of those people that kind of can’t help it but create, he’s constantly collaborating, painting, making music, building, you name it… Even though, he’s based here in Austin Tx. we don’t get to enjoy his art too often, and we’re solving that!

He started doing art a few years ago, while he was designing the album art for his band, Big Jaw… “It started me on a track of trying to find a way to make compelling pieces in the simplest terms by using symbols from nature and pop culture and combining these symbols with basic elements of design and a limited color palette. At most, I hope my work would evoke a story or a feeling or even just a question in the viewer’s mind. At least, I hope it’s fun to look at.”

A crowd pleaser for sure; Last year he was one of the artists that had more traffic at our studio, so you’ll see 😉

We’ll have his art in both studios November 18th & 19th, so make sure to take some time in your day to see it and enjoy a drink or two too!
