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. We 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.
PS great choice in your office artwork. we have more work by that artist, Shannon Hamann, and by Phillip Wade (whose work you also featured) on view at our gallery at 8th & Congress by appointment: info@austindetailsart.com
glad you made it to see my new downtown gallery and artists’ services space, I appreciate the writeup–and you’re welcome to photograph the gallery for your blog anytime, thanks for asking first! hope to see you for our Grand Opening on Sept 16–The Neon Show.
