ASH Bash: Insights Art Show & Sale
Combining art created by Austin State Hospital patients during an art therapy program along with the work of professional artists, the ‘ASH Bash: Insights Art Show & Sale’ challenges the notion of what constitutes so-called “outsider art” created by non-trained artists versus that created by professional artists.
Think you know what to expect? You may have to think again at the “ASH Bash: Insights Art Show & Sale,” a fundraiser for the State Hospital.
More than 100 pieces of patient-created art are displayed alongside local professional artists, including revered artist Maranda Pleasant, Roi James, Andrew Long, Eliza Thomas, Daniel Johnson and Billy Tice.
The event is 6 to 9 p.m. Sept. 16 at 816 Congress Ave. Tickets are $20. Music by Suzanne Choffel. See www.ashvolunteers.org for info.
