CITY HALL ART




The City of Austin Cultural Arts Division, part of the Economic Development Department, announces the opening of the Pe14th Annual People’s Gallery exhibition at Austin City Hall. The presentation features a wide array of painting, sculpture, drawing and other media by 102 artists from across the Austin area. The public is invited to view artworks throughout City Hall. Limited Parking is available in the City Hall garage and will be validated; however, visitors are encouraged to walk, bike, or use public transportation.




*Free and open to the public*

The 2018 selection panelists were arts educator and artist Teruko Nimura; artist and Preparator (Blanton Museum of Art, University of Texas at Austin) John Sager; and artist and Professor of Art, St. Edward's University Tammie Rubin.



Each year, the public is invited to vote for their favorite artwork in the exhibition, and a “People’s Choice” is selected from among the top-voted artworks to be purchased and added to the City’s permanent collection. Ballots for the 2018 People’s Choice will be available during the opening reception on February 23, and during normal exhibition hours through October 26, 2018.



 The 2018 exhibition will remain on display through January 1, 2019.
