The Out of Austin Shift
A few days ago Zac Crain casually aside-d in the comments on a Frontburner post that Austin’s music scene has been coasting on reputation. Is there a connection there to this: Arturo Palacios is moving Art Palace from Austin to Houston. Glasstire has an interview with Palacios. Palacios on the move:
“In the last couple of years, the work has shifted to getting the art out of Austin via art fairs, collaborating with spaces outside of Austin, getting national attention and placing works in important collections. By moving to Houston, I see a continuation of these efforts, and I will be aided by being in a city that can act as more of a “portal” to the outside world.”
Have your say!
