On behalf of Big Medium, we want to express our heartfelt thanks for making last weekend’s event an unforgettable success! Your enthusiasm fuels our mission to support Austin's vibrant arts community.
We’d love to hear about your experience—good, bad, or somewhere in between! Your feedback directly shapes next year’s event. Take a minute to fill out this short survey, and let us know how we can make it even better.
We heard you, and since this November has more weekends, we’re spacing out the tour dates, starting with a Kick-off party on November 2nd at the George Washington Carver Museum, followed by Weekend 1 of the tour, Nov 9-10 12-6pm, featuring the West side of IH35, then Weekend 2 of the tour, Nov 16-17 12-6pm, featuring the East side of IH35.
We hope that having more time before the holidays and reducing the weekends becomes less overwhelming and allows y’all to focus on the art around you. Remember that you can always go back to the studio tour website, or the group show (through December 14) if you want to reach out to any of your new favs.
Long story short: The Austin Studio Tour 2024 will take place over 2 weekends in November and will be divided into two regions, WEST of IH35 and EAST of IH35.
This will allow audiences to choose between weekends and regions and plan accordingly.
Weekend 1: November 9-10 WEST of IH-35, 12-6pm
Weekend 2: November 16-17 EAST of IH-35, 12-6pm
