Hello,
Welcome to the 7th East Austin Studio Tour! Over the course of a weekend, November 22nd and 23rd, you will have the opportunity to view the works of over 200 artists at 150 studios and galleries. These remarkable artists comprise a wide range of disciplines, bound only by the common desire to work within a few square miles east of I-35, an area that has thoroughly established itself as the epicenter of visual art in Austin.

2008 Tour Guide
Around Austin you may have seen the E.A.S.T. Tour Guides. These free books, available at various local businesses include a 18x24 inch fold out map and full color examples of the artwork on view at each studio. Check around town the week before the tour and you're bound to spot one. Here are some locations that we've been dropping books off at, although we suggest calling before driving down to see if they still have some in store:
Cafe Mundi
East Side Pies
Big Medium
There are many others, just keep your eyes open!
This web site is your best option for previewing the artwork of all the E.A.S.T. artists, with three times more photos than the Tour Guide. Use the navigation bar on the left to find any artist alphabetically, by studio number, or by geographic region. Still, if you really want to see the tour guide and have been unable to find one, we have made a full color PDF of this catalog available so you can flip through it on your PC. Be patient it is a large download.(We recommend against printing it, as it takes quite a bit of ink and paper)

2008 E.A.S.T. Map
The 2008 Tour Map has also been inputted into Google Maps for 2008. This means you can be an interactive participant of the tour, no longer just an observer. Leave comments, post photos, and help others increase their perspective on the tour by offering your experience, insight and opinions. Please be respectful and courteous as you alter postings, as the map is now a collaborative effort of not only the artists on the tour, but a collaboration with the participants as well.

The East Austin Studio Tour is sponsored by Big Medium, a local non-profit organization that supports all visual arts. In addition to E.A.S.T., Big Medium sponsors the Texas Biennial and exhibits the work of local and national artists year round.
