Art Alliance Austin Unveils Exclusive Preview of Urban Works, Featured Artists of Art City Austin
March 7 – April 25, 2008

AUSTIN, TEXAS – On Friday, March 7, Art Alliance Austin (formerly The
Austin Fine Arts Alliance) presents "Intersections: Artists from Art City Austin 2008," a preview of urban-theme pieces (painting, photography, mixed media, and works on paper) by artists who will soon take their works to the city's streets during this year's Art City Austin on April 12 and 13.

The "Intersections" exhibition will be celebrated with an opening reception in Art Alliance Austin's headquarters in the historic Swift Building at 315 Congress Avenue from 6 - 8 pm, and the show will be on view through April 25. This event provides an intimate setting in which patrons can preview a selection of the Austin-area artists who are showing at Art City Austin and learn more about the artists and their work. 100% of the proceeds from art sales at the preview will go to the artists.

True to the mission of Art Alliance Austin, Christina Hiett, independent curator, organized this show to feature some of Austin's brightest art talents and to foster participation in visual art and provide inclusive engagement with the community. Artists participating in the exhibition are Lucy Durfee, Jann Alexander, Rebecca Bennett, Jay Long, Craig Sainsott, and Stephanie Strange.
