For nine days in November (14th-22nd), artist studios, art galleries and theaters all over east Austin will open up their doors to the public for East Austin Studio Tour 8.
E.A.S.T. is a chance for the community to get a behind the scenes look at working artists’ spaces and processes. The tour also includes temporary art happenings and educational programming.

E.A.S.T. draws thousands of spectators every year and is only getting bigger. With the expansion of the tour in 2009 from one weekend to 9 consecutive days, there is now more opportunity than ever for people to experience E.A.S.T. The E.A.S.T. web site, catalog and map serve as a guide for the tour and a year around reference to Austin’s vibrant art scene. In 2008 6,000 catalogs and tour maps were printed. This year we expect to distribute 8,000 catalogs and maps throughout Austin.

In the last 3 years the tour has grown from 86 to 150 participating studios and galleries. Unique web visits have increased from 40,000 to over 67,000. In 2009 we expect 75,000 unique web visits.
