A Community Art Bash

Reimagine Elisabet Ney’s iconoclastic life and brilliant art through the lens of three Austin contemporary visual artists: Yuliya Lanina, Agustina Rodriguez and Lisa B. Woods. Each will be creating site-specific art experiences in the Museum or historic grounds. Attendees will experience artist interventions, theatrical performances, and musical expressions immersed throughout the Museum’s expansive grounds, paired with curated food and drinks from local vendors and specialized museum tours crafted by interpretive actors, Yunina C Barbour-Payne, Venese Alcantar, and Savannah Lee.

In the flavor of Ney’s marble cutting process, Eric McMaster’s Digital Fabrication course from The University of Texas will share their current day translations of Ney’s plaster casts. Come celebrate the museum’s evolving programs and exhibits and share your thoughts on the next evolution of the Museum. As the evening approaches, the event will transition into an after-hours event, featuring interactive projects and musical interventions by artist Amanda Vaughn. Featured sponsors include Quiet Events, Fair Weather Cider Company, Fancy Fancy and Chawar.

This event serves as a pivotal component of our ongoing engagement efforts to develop the Museum’s new interpretive plan. As we strive to ensure an inclusive and community-centered approach, we will be actively interviewing and surveying visitors throughout the day. If you are approached to participate, we kindly request your valuable input as it will play a crucial role in shaping the future of this historic space. Your feedback is immensely appreciated and will help us create a meaningful and enriching experience for all who visit the Elisabet Ney Museum.
