PRESS RELEASE

August 18, 2009

Hushed galleries. White walls. “Inside” voices. That’s one way to experience art. But Art Outside 2009 is looking to change that. If you are a visual artist, performer, musician, dancer, comic, filmmaker, crafter, fashion designer, or a creative spirit of any sort - we are looking for you to participate this October 9-11th.

One of Texas’ most anticipated annual art events, Art Outside is a three-day experience for art lovers, families, DIY junkies and avid concert-goers. You’ll perform or display your work in the environs of Apache Pass, located just East of Austin and centered between Houston, Dallas, and San Antonio. With over 100+ participants across all media, it’s also an opportunity to meet and network with artists from all over the country, from under-the-radar newcomers to today’s art icons.

Just some of this year’s participants include carnivalian collective Art of Such N’ Such, fresh off their 2009 Bonnaroo performance, eco-chic fashion designer Rene Geneva, recently named Best Local Fashion Designer at the Austin Fashion Awards, blues/vintage rock outfit The Golden Animals, The Mutaytor, Freq Nasty, DIY workshops by The WonderCraft, Comedy by Reggie Watts and Adira Amram, food by Ararat and Happy Vegan Baker and many more. *visit website for full line-up/line-up is subject to change.

SUBMIT YOUR ART NOW: http://www.artoutside.org/submit09

We look forward to reviewing your wild, wonderful creations. With a tradition of showcasing groundbreaking talent on breathtaking grounds, Art Outside has hosted artists and art appreciators since 2004. Founded at Austin Enchanted Forest, Art Outside began as a small gathering of creative souls, and expanded into a destination event for visitors near and far. We pay homage to the Enchanted Forest as we spread our wings over a new landscape, Apache Pass, where we can host more art than ever before. An inspiring expanse of beautiful central Texas landscape, Apache Pass will offer music performance areas, a cantilevered stage, artist tents, camping grounds for full-weekend participants, food and drink vendors. A limited amount of advance 3-day passes are now available for purchase on the website. To learn more, please visit Art Outside-www.artoutside.org.

Take your art OUTSIDE!

First there was Memorial Day Weekend in 2007.

Then there was some random day in June of 2008.

Can anything prepare us for this year’s ultimate day of reckoning?

We’ve seen what the giant veggie dog can do by itself. It can pick people up and look like its going to eat them. It can get very angry and crack the ground just by stomping around.

But what will happen when it comes back to our city with a whole army of its kind?

Join us on INDEPENDENCE DAY to make sure it all turns out the right way!

Entry is $5 and comes with a ticket redeemable for 1 free veggie dog for those not competing.
Also, free NadaMoo ice cream, live music, and special guests for all!

SIGN UP NOW to compete in either the SOLO or DOUBLES categories: http://tinyurl.com/veggiedogcontest

Grilling by the Hot Dog King. All Ages.

iLoveMikeLitt promotes art, culture, and progressive values w/ lots of community participation. This is our 20th event in 2 yrs. All proceeds after expenses will go towards more events.

I must admit that I am one of those people who are willing to try just about anything that is non-animal product related. When I went to “The Rarest of them All” party this summer I did just that. I happened by this booth in the far off corner while sipping my Mint & Honey Sweet Leaf Tea. At this point of the afternoon I was pretty much on autopilot from fumbling my way through people, but just as my eyes met the nicely packaged sweet potato treats my ears overheard, the words “vegan… not only can your dog eat them but you can munch on them too!” Before I even knew it the words blurted out of my mouth, “REALLY?!” as I grabbed a package off the table and started to scan the ingredients. The girl said, “Sure, I eat them all the time. Try them out…” as she hands me a sample pack, and a couple of their groovey stickers to take with me on my way.

Wasting no time in tearing the package open as I walked away. Immediately I liked them and before I knew it I had finished off the entire sample bag! (admittedly I was pretty hungry since there were no vegan options at the party, but never-the-less…) About five minutes later I was back at the table buying up a couple of bags for my dog who I have to say to this day loves his sweet potato treats, and when he is not looking I help myself to one or two…perhaps maybe even three:)

Bark for Peace is an Austin based, woman owned, start-up business that is truly a concept straight from the heart…the heart of Lisa Knaggs! Bark for Peace treats are crafted from scratch. They are organic, allergen-free, 100% human-grade treats you can EAT WITH your dog! Plus, they’re minimally packaged in 100% biodegradable/compostable packaging.

Organic Vegan treats you can share with your dog…yum:) http://www.barkforpeace.com

They think of everything…
