Artists participating in EAST will have their studios open from 10am until 5pm on Saturday and Sunday. Head over to the official East Austin Studio Tour site to see the full list of artists and to download a copy of the EAST map. We'll see ya on the East Side!
From 6-10pm tonight, the squeegee wielders over at Industry Screenprint Studios (2503B E. 6th St.) will be hosting another edition of PRINT+addiction. This installment of the t-shirt printing party will feature art by Austin's kings of graffiti, Sloke and Mez. The artists have painted Industry's gallery space from the floor to the ceiling for the event and will have eight of their designs set up on the screenprinting press to fulfill everyone's t-shirt design desires. Participants can buy a shirt for $20 or bring a shirt from home for $10 and get to print the shirt themselves. Stop by Industry during EAST for more print-your-own opportunities, the shop will have their in-house designs set up for $10 with a shirt purchase or $5 when you bring your own.
On Saturday night, swing by Shangri-La to enjoy Austin's second annual Slideluck Potshow. Nearly forty artists have been selected to show their work, slideshow style to an audience of art appreciators who are snacking away on home-cooked potluck fare. The potluck will begin at 7pm with the slideshow kicking off at 9pm. Everyone is asked to bring a dish to share and to come with an empty stomach. Shangri-la is a 21 and up venue and it's pretty safe to say that the food and slideshow will be way better than any you'll see at your Aunt's house this Thanksgiving. Come for the food stay for the art.
