In partnership, Big Medium and Desert Door are exhibiting this year's Desert Door Residency Artists: Brock Caron, DJ FAIRY ARIES, Sarah Fagan, and L. Renee Nunez.

Join the artists for an Opening Reception Saturday, November 13th from noon to 2 pm at Big Medium with a DJ set by DJ FAIRY ARIES with Sotol pours until 6 pm during November’s Austin Studio Tour

“Located five hours west of Austin and two hours from anything remotely resembling a town, the Desert Door ranch is 8,000 acres of wild, untamed space… This space has a powerful way of bringing people together and opening them up for discovery. Breaking away from the distractions of the 21st century, your mind is open to explore and your body reacts by feeling each passionate moment. It’s always been important for us to share the story of this land and its offerings with others.” - Desert Door

Varying in disciplines, these four local artists have been selected to take part in the first edition of this program. Each artist traveled to the Desert Door Texas Sotol ranch in Dryden, Texas this summer for a one-week residency, where they drew inspiration from the raw West Texas landscape and began creating work. This program has culminated in a group exhibition held during this year’s Austin Studio Tour.

Exhibition runs November 13 through December 4th.
