| West End 1st Thursday February 5 1st Thursday Gallery Night Open until 8 pm Warm your heart this February with art! Visit 8 galleries within walking distance in the West End with easy parking available. February’s featured venue is Haven Gallery. Located in downtown Austin, Texas, Haven strives to live up to its name; to be a safe harbor where artists and people who seek and value art come together to admire works forged from expansive imaginations and cultivated skill. Since our opening in 2006, we have displayed an eclectic mix of two and three dimensional fine art and fine craft, including works in glass, metal, ceramic, wood, jewelry, judaica, mixed media, and paintings. In 2009, we are excited to expand our collection of artists to include artistic lighting installations and large-scale wall installations in a variety of mediums. |
