Art Outside is a community-based temporary art show created by hundreds of artists and appreciated by thousands of viewers/participants. AO provides a platform for all varieties of artists to display their work in an unconventional arena at the Austin Enchanted Forest. At its root, AO inspires new forms of creativity and experience by taking art out of the traditional gallery and into the forest.

WHO organizes Art Outside? |
This year Art Outside is being organized by the Art Seen Alliance, a group of dedicated artists who, through blood, sweat, and tears, create a positive and creative space for all of you to experience. Before, during, and after the event, this dedicated group of artists come together for the sake of bringing art to the masses. Without the amazing help from all involved, there would be no Art Outside.
We would also like to pay homage to The Austin Enchanted Forest who, for the past 4 years, has worked to bring you Art Outside. Thank you Enchanted Forest, from the bottom of our hearts. |

We’re after the creative urge, that urge to make something, to create something that cannot be contained in a white walled gallery.
