One of the top things to do in Austin is getting even better!
Starting on Sunday, September 15, Second Saturdays is changing to “Blanton All Day,” a FULL day featuring art talks, storytime, music, food, new art to view, & more! Once a month, every second weekend. Happens on Saturdays – unless there’s a UT Longhorns game – then it’s on SUNDAY. (So y’all don’t have to choose which to attend! 😉)
From 10am–5pm on 9/15, enjoy the Blanton’s regular art talks, live music, and exhibitions, PLUS new art-inspired activities to look forward to! All ages welcome and all at the museum voted “Best Place to See Art” in Austin. Just steps from the Texas Capitol.
