EPOCH COFFEE HOSTS EMERGING ARTISTS FOR AUSTIN STUDIO TOUR
Contracommon is proud to present Mirrors, a temporary exhibition of work from organization members and friends, as part of Austin Studio Tour. This one-weekend exhibition will be hosted by Epoch Coffee at 221 W North Loop Blvd, Austin, Texas 78751 (Stop #69 on the AST map). The show will be on view for the WEST weekend of Austin Studio Tour from November 9th through 10th, 2024. All events associated with the tour are free and open to the public.
In this temporary group exhibition, these artists invite you to explore the multifaceted nature of mirrors. They reflect not only the physical realm, but also inner thoughts, emotions, and identities. They can create illusions, distort reality, or reveal hidden truths. They can distort perceptions of time and space, creating a sense of depth or infinity. In this collection of works, mirrors cease to be mere objects of vanity–they allow artists to become storytellers–using mirrors to play with perceptions and challenge viewers' understanding of what is real.
Alongside this show, Contracommon will host a pop-up shop on Epoch’s patio on both days of the WEST Austin Studio Tour, November 9th and 10th, from 12-6pm. Small original works, prints, clothing and other merch from Contracommon members will be available to browse.
On November 9th from 3-6pm we will host a Drink + Draw event at Epoch Coffee. Community members are invited to create art using provided supplies, or bring a project of their own. Contracommon members will be present to talk about their works and answer questions about the nonprofit organization.
Mirrors will be on view at Stop #69 on the Austin Studio Tour map (221 W North Loop Blvd) from Saturday November 9th and Sunday November 10th, 2024. Official Austin Studio Tour hours are from 12-6pm each day of the tour, when Contracommon will host a pop-up shop. Exhibition host Epoch Coffee is open to the public 24/7.
