Consider artists, architects at work on public projects
AIA Austin Emerging Professionals and Art Alliance Austin are co-sponsoring a casual exhibit and informal discussion on the convergence of art and architecture. It’s a prelude to the Austin Arts Week and Art City Austin events coming up in April.
The free event, ‘A Conversation About Art & Architecture’ is from 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday. It’s open to the public. Members of Austin’s art and architecture communities are encouraged to attend.
The work of artists Bridget Quinn, Jared Theis, Joseph Philips and the Sodalitas collective is all up for discussion. The talk will be lead by Salvador Castillo.
It all goes down in an empty retail space near City Hall at 233 W. Second St.
The evening will also present the opportunity to stike up dieas for the international Temporary Outdoor Gallery Space — aka TOGS — Ideas Competition. The project, now in its third year, challenges designers to come up an radical new alternative to the typical art fair tent.
