If you haven't purchased your pre-sale tickets yet you may do so HERE .

Complete Line-Up and Schedule

There is a complete list of Artists, Bands, DJs, and Performers posted on our website. Please check out our schedule for show times and locations.

Camping

Camping space is included in your three-day pass. We highly encourage campers to bring your own food and to pack out with everything brought into the camp site. This includes garbage, tents, and any other items or materials you bring with you. To put it simply - leave no trace!

Organize a Ride Share

The Art Seen Alliance has created a forum where people can organize ride shares to this years event. If you are coming from out of state or just trying to put together a car pool locally, you can use this ride share forum to hook up with other folks attending the event to save on gas and reduce carbon emissions.

Social Networking Blast this Wednesday

In an effort to reach out to as many folks as we can, we are asking anyone and everyone to participate in a coordinated social networking blast this Wednesday, September 30th. Stock up on web banners and posting code from our website and spread the word by posting blogs, bullitins, announcements, and tweets. Let's shake-up the internet and spread the word!

Street Performances Leading Up to the Festival

Watch out for our artists who will be organizing street performance around Austin at events like First Thursday and ACL leading up to the beginning of the festival. If you would like to participate - just come on out and join the crowd!

GAGA Swap and Chop Saturday and Sunday

People (you) bring your old (but clean) clothing items to add to the donation pile. We are there to help you sew, sort-out and reconstruct your new finds into amazing outfits and awesome attire. Sweaters into dress, pants into skirts, blankets into hats, we’ve seen it all and are ready to help bring your idea to life. The swap and chop will happen both Saturday and Sunday from Noon-5PM.

ATMs Available

There will be ATM machines available at the event. These ATM machines will charge a $4.00 transaction fee - so it may be in your best interest to bring some bills ahead of time.

No Pets Allowed

Sorry, but we will not allow any pets into the festival. We have recieved lots of questions about pets and although we would love for you to bring your furry companion, we simply cannot ensure that they will all play nice together.

No Unapproved Fire Performance

Additionally, we will not allow any fire performance that has not been pre-approved by the production office. We realize that you have been spinning poi for years and we bow to your magnificent talents - but since we have limited fire safety resources we will be enforcing a No-Fire law at this years event to ensure everyones health and safety. If you are still super stoked to spin fire, please contact us at info@artoutside.org and let's talk about how we may fit your performance into the schedule.

Thank you Andrea Burden

A special thank you to Andrea Burden for creating the magnificent poster design you see at the top of this newsletter. Andrea, your work is amazing, and we look forward to seeing you at the event!

Additional Questions or Concerns

If you have any questions or concerns you may email us at info@artoutside.org or better yet - post a new discussion on the Art Outside Forum hosted by the Art Seen Alliance.

Dream BIG!

Frisco Bound

I write this on the morning before I catch a flight to Frisco. I'm excited about doing my Anda Mandala thing at the Bay Area Maker Faire 2009. I'll be projecting some stop motion animated mandalas made by people at the 2008 Austin Maker Faire, 2009 First Night Austin , 2009 SXSW Afterparty Plutopia and more. I'll also have the set up laid out for folks to step up and make their own animated mandala-like formations.

These are mandalas that were made at Maker Faire and First Night 2008 in Austin. I've edited them together with original music by Jonathan Sylvan.

Anda Mandala at First Night in Austin

Anda Mandala making will take place near the RE:Growth structure on Auditorium Shores. Make mandalas with gears, clocks, or bamboo circles.

Re:Growth is a site specific bamboo installation creating a unique sculpture using bamboo splits and poles. The piece will also be dramatically lit with projections and led lights, creating a festive intimate space.

thanks to all the participants

What a great response to Anda Mandala from the public at the Maker Faire. Tons of kids and grown-ups experienced the magic of animating objects using a blend of old and new technology. The best part was watching people's face light up after they made a thing. I can't wait until this weekend when I'll have some time begin editing the animations so that I can post the video online and send a notice out to all the folks who participated. I'll be at the Make Out Session this Monday, October 26 at 7 pm at Spiderhouse hanging out and editing. Maybe you'll come out and see me...

Maker Faire Here We Go

noreply@blogger.com (Anda Mandala) — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 14:30:00 +0000

I'm looking forward to setting up my stop motion equipment for making mandalas at Maker Faire this weekend. I have a booth just outside the ring of fire where some friends will be shooting fire out of metal sculptures and blowing crazy bubbles. I'll be projecting the animated mandalas that have been made and making new ones. As people come along, I hope to engage them in the process. Children and adults alike can participate in making stop motion mandalas.
