About me: We are Raw and Desperate. An army of artists. A diverse collective, equipped with creative powers that allow us to rise above the restraints of our time, and to advance forth the creative movement in hopes of a better tomorrow.
We manifest through all forms of creativity, expression, and the passion that is art and life. Artists from all walks of life have a voice and a chance to be heard through shows, events, publications, and promotion. Through benefits and events, we give back to the community by supporting and creating awareness of the crucial social and humane issues that affect us all.
Who I'd like to meet: ANYONE AND EVERYONE IN FAVOR OF THE CREATIVE REVOULTION!
ACL rocked, but there is NO time to rest... Art Outside starts Friday!
Featuring musicians like Wine and Revolution, Suzanna Choffel, Freq Nasty and 62 other acts across three stages, over 100 visual artists ranging from photographers to jewelry-designers, film shorts by Austin Underground Film Society, on-site yoga and acrobatic training, DIY craft demos, fashion show by Rene Geneva, fire dancing performances and much more, Art Outside is an unforgettable, full-sensory art adventure. Art Outside also makes a special effort to reach out to families, and will offer interactive earth-friendly projects, storytelling, and a variety of arts and crafts workshops for children at this year's event.
Since its inception in 2004, Art Outside presented this year by Art Seen Alliance has played a significant role in shaping Texas' vibrant art and music community. By moving creative works from inside gallery walls to an outdoor setting with open sky and wild environs, Art Outside challenges guests to rethink the way they view art, fostering an environment where no genre is off-limits, no medium left unexplored.

In addition to camp ground privileges for full-weekend participants, Apache Pass offers RV parking and on-site shower facilities for guests, as well as music performance areas, a cantilevered stage over the San Gabriel river, and tents for participating artists and attendees.
