At the intersection of life and art, creativity and commerce, collaboration and imagination, Art Alliance Austin is a member-powered organization where we make art possible. We do it because art is a force and people need it to thrive. We produce really great art events to inspire our citizens, catalyze artists to create, support the understanding and collection of visual art, and to hasten citywide collaboration. We stimulate the local economy with collecting, travel, and money in the pockets of our artists. We connect leaders and big organizations to make possible the profitable and the whimsical. With member events throughout the year, our efforts culminate each spring in Art Week Austin, ending with our annual art event: Art City Austin. Art + life.


Everyone agrees the art this year was very strong and very competitive! And, the new venue gave the event a perfect stage for all the wonderful art and activities! The winners of Art City Austin 2008 are:
