News about destinations on the north end of Congress Avenue just keeps coming. First, an office tower at 907 Congress. Second, the Hogg building could become a boutique hotel could. Third, there is a new art gallery opening – Austin Details – on E 8th Street, just west of Congress Avenue.
The space is well suited to showcasing artists and hosting workshops. Amber and I checked out the soft opening this past Saturday. Supposedly, taking photos in a gallery is a no-no, (I didn’t know, I swear. Bloggers beware!) but I got permish, and below are two of my favorites from the collection.
Expect the grand opening in a few weeks.

I finally got a chance to stop in when I was downtown doing some photo shoots last week. I am so proud to be living in such a fun artsy city. 52 years and counting.
