Artist Meet & Greet: A Private Preview

Local Women Artists

An intimate pre-opening gathering with local women artists before the Austin Studio Tour opens to the public.

About The Evening

Join us for an intimate evening of art and conversation. Before the Austin Studio Tour opens its doors, we’re inviting a small group of friends, clients, and partners to preview the work and meet the women who made it.

Sip wine, enjoy light bites, and hear the stories behind each piece directly from the artists. It’s a chance to discover new favorites, and to support the local artists who make Austin’s creative community what it is.
