Celebrate Foto ATX, Austin's First Photography Festival

January 8, 2018

I'm SO excited to be writing this post -- As an avid photographer and lover of art, it's my pleasure to let you know (if you haven't already heard) that Austin is holding the inaugural FotoATX Festival from January 5-February 3rd across the city. Since I don't enjoy wasting my weekends drinking myself to sleep on Rainey, I'm always on the lookout for fun things to do around the city that force me to go out around the city and see things a little differently. 

Art has always been a love of mine, since I grew up going to museums with my family, but I found a true passion in photography when I was ten. Since that day, I haven't been without a camera! Austin's art scene has been making big moves with the expansion of the East Austin Studio Tour and November was recently named Austin Art Month by Mayor Steve Adler. 

 

Here's what you need to know about FotoATX Festival:

I'm most looking forward to the 'Austin Women by Austin Women' exhibit at the Elisabet Ney Museum. I've always wanted to check it out but still haven't been, and the topic is of course one that interests me! Quite a few of the galleries are on the East Side, so if you make it over to my neck of the woods to experience some Austin art, be sure to take a look at this East Austin City Guide and make the most of your day in the area.

Choose wisely
My whole world
Like if u remember 💀💀💀 | I told myself 2018 would be the year of me doing what I wanted to be doing instead of me doing what I knew would make everyone comfortable and happy. Some loved my decisions, some hated my decisions, some questioned my decisions — I got to hear lots of opinions along the way 😉 But all in all I can say that this year has brought me some of the BEST memories, most WONDERFUL people and most importantly, a sense of S E L F that I’m 100% sure won’t be molded to fit into others’ expectations in 2019. 💁🏼‍♀️
