We had a great time, nestled in the ‘Social Good Row’ of the SXSW edition of the Renegade Craft Fair, right in the center of beautiful downtown Austin. The biggest obstacle this time out was just getting there. Navigating from Seattle, WA to Austin, TX presented us with plenty of new challenges, the triumph over which left us feeling exhilarated and ready for just about anything. Seriously, it was transformative. Once we made it down there it was deeply satisfying to share the art of Shawn Ferris, Robroy Chalmers, Anette Lusher, Phil McGaughy, Brenda L. Scallon, Yvette Endrijautski, and Jean Albus, along with a hands on busking installation, three mesmerizing magic shows a day by Just Sage, and all of it enhanced by Tim Scallon’s musicianship, keeping everything rapt in sonic accord.

While there, we saw some old friends, made lots of new ones, and explored a new dimension of our mission to “Take The Arts To The Streets”. A big thank you goes out to Julie Yost for inviting us down!!!
