Art Along Austin’s Shoal Creek
“Nature: Untethered, Ever Changing,” an exhibition of works by Karina Hean and Erika Huddleston will be on view from August 15 to September 13. Ten percent of all sales will be donated to the Shoal Creek Conservancy.
In early 2014, the Shoal Creek Conservancy announced a pilot Shoal Creek Mural Series seeking to reduce graffiti and tagging, create attractive destinations along the trail, and bring together the community through mural arts. The Conservancy is partnering with local artists and businesses to install murals on privately owned surfaces facing Austin’s Shoal Creek. The project is modeled on the successful mural programs in other cities throughout the country, such as Philadelphia, and is envisioned as the first phase in a larger program to incorporate visual arts along the urban portion of the trail. This summer, the Conservancy also welcomed its very own artist in residence, Erika Huddleston. An artist with a background in landscape architecture, Huddleston stated, “I am interested in how witnessing natural changes in urban landscapes — such as flood debris that reveals the long gone rise in waters — affects the urban parkgoer’s sense of past, present, and future.” She worked onsite at Shoal Creek to produce a series of large oil paintings illustrating the impact of urbanization on Shoal Creek; the artwork is on view at Gallery Shoal Creek through September 13. Huddleston also assisted the Conservancy in the development of the Shoal Creek Mural Series. For more information, visit www.shoalcreekconservancy.org and www.galleryshoalcreek.org.
