**Event venue is the same as Nocturnal Wonderland Texas.**
The 8th annual Art Outside is a three-day art festival that celebrates creativity in all its forms, community, and the sustainable lifestyle. The event is produced by Austin’s own Art Seen Alliance and features a wide range of original music and performances, handmade goods from one-of-a-kind vendors, sustainability workshops, yoga, and more. The rural landscape of Apache Pass in Rockdale, Texas is temporarily transformed into a magical city that offers shade under majestic oaks or mountainous tents by day, and camping under an unspoiled starry sky by night.
Art Outside provides an experience like no other, encouraging a communal atmosphere of exploration and a fresh acquaintance with unlimited human imagination. From traditional, two-dimensional gallery art to interactive sculpture installations, Art Outside is an immersive experience that allows participants to share their inspiration, blurring the line between makers and viewers. Festivalgoers are provided with opportunities to discover new skills they have witnessed throughout the festival from the artists themselves.
A nod to the ethos of likeminded events such as Burning Man and Lightning in a Bottle, Art Outside nurtures a symbiosis between artists and patrons, making the weekend’s experience both unique and highly personalized. No fences or barricades separate audiences from creators. Ticket holders are encouraged to exercise freedom of expression–attendees actively contribute to the experience.
