There’s no denying we live in a wildly creative city, and this becomes especially apparent every November — when the East Austin Studio Tour (E.A.S.T.) occurs.
Over two weekends and nine days, this annual self-guided tour invites Austinites and visitors to explore the work of hundreds of local artists in their studios east of IH-35.
The tour’s been going on since 2003, and this year’s event was the biggest yet. It’s a wonderful way to see artists in their “natural habitats” working in a wide range of mediums – everything from oil paint to wood to metal to clay to plants to upcycled materials.
What follows is an Instagrammatic sampling of E.A.S.T. 2011.
