Hope Outdoor Gallery of Austin TX

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Potranco Realty 492107

Hope Outdoor Gallery of Austin TX


Known for one of the largest outside Galleries in the USA.

 

The project was officially launched by the HOPE Campaign in March 2011 with the support of Shepard Fairey and Obey Giant Art.


Unused space below what is known as the Austin Castle at 11th and Baylor St has been the canvas for local artist.

 

The Gallery sets on what was known as the “foundation” an abandoned condo project.

 

Prime Austin Real Estate has been the canvas for vandals over the years leaving their art.


Artist must now have permission to paint on the Castle walls.

Bob, as the aunt of a serious mural painter, I'm starting to love this stuff!  Also, your top photo is just beautiful, with the gray skyline, the gray clouds and the colors on the roof.

Love the outdoor art space - this kind of "graffitti" is really wonderful for our cities!

I know that this is graffiti, but it's beautiful and how neat that there is a place to go see it.

Amazing how perception and value can change over night. Grafitti was always thought of as a negative thing, even though the artists were talented. Now the shift is to think of it in a different light. Many buildings have shown new value from some of the amazing art work that has "appeared" over the years.

This is very cool art, and an intriguing idea. There is more and more public art around and I think it's great!
