Explore UT – Art Building (Visual Arts Center)
The Visual Arts Center did not disappoint. It supplied me with several opportunities for photographs.
Austin City Hall – The People’s Gallery
Today’s mission was to go and enjoy The People’s Gallery at Austin City Hall. From the literature, “Each year the Cultural Arts Division of the Economic Development Department presents the People’s Gallery exhibition, designed to showcase regional artistic endeavors and to encourage public dialogue, understanding, and enjoyment of the visual arts. Since 2005, Austin City Hall has been an annual showcase for works by Austin area artists.” It was super enjoyable to see all of the great artwork on display.
Alice
My visit to the Harry Ransom Center was to see the Alice in Wonderland Exhibit. It was full of wonderful things. There was art, books, games, records, films, photos and other things of interest. They told the story from when Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (Lewis Carroll) first dreamed up the concept, all the way to works of present day artists. The exhibit is there until July 6, so check it out if you get the opportunity.
Once Upon a Cake
The cold, rainy weather has returned to the Austin area, so it was a good day for an indoor activity like “Once Upon a Cake” presented by the Capital Confectioners. This was their “11th Annual Sugar Art Show & Cake Competition”. The challenge was to create edible works of art pertaining to fairy tales, nursery rhymes, or fables. Imagine a sports complex full of decorated cakes. I could have shared a ton of photos, but here are a few of my favorites. The artists were truly exceptional!
Wine Barrel Art
I caught this piece of wine barrel art on display at Cianfrani Coffee Company in Georgetown while drinking my coffee. I thought the flag design was pretty cool, but I am partial to the Texas Flag. Maybe they can make a version with your favorite flag?

First Baptist Church Austin
I visited the First Baptist Church in downtown Austin this afternoon for a Piano Solo Recital. The church was really nice. I liked the sanctuary, the stained glass windows, and the lobby with the four story mobile and the sculpture of the Archangel Michael.
