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. |
