Artist prodigy Alexandra Nechita, now 24, began drawing at the age
of two and by seven was painting with oils and acrylics. Her first exhibit was a one-woman
(child) show when she was eight years old. She has been labeled as “The Petite Picasso”
by the press, and is said to be the rarest of child prodigies - an artist who mastered drawing
and color, and who created a visual language of her own in a unique, figurative, abstract,
cubist manner -- all by the age of nine. And by age ten, her work was compared to talented
and fully mature artists as she developed a style of her own. Nechita has been recognized
as the official artist of the World Federation of the United Nations, 39th Annual Grammy
Awards, the Polaroid Corporation (50th Anniversary) and the World Peace Music Awards.
Her work has been displayed throughout the world and is in the collections of dozens of
museums and private collections worldwide.

austin art garage opens new exhibit space, celebrates two years of supporting local art! 

AUSTIN ART GARAGE, A GALLERY SPECIALIZING IN art FROM EMERGING AUSTIN ARTISTS, IS LAUNCHING A NEW EXHIBIT space THIS SEPTEMBER DUBBED “Austin ART GARAGE EXHIBIT.”

The focus of Austin Art Garage Exhibit is to offer artists an opportunity to show a range of their work and to create a flexible space for conceptual projects and events.  The new space, adjoining the gallery proper, approximately doubles the original size (over 1000 sq ft. including outdoor show area). 

This is a set of artist-created recorded walking tours of the Domain, that ever-so-tony shopping center/residence/office-park thing in North Austin. Visitors can download the walking tours and attend the exhibition on their own time, making this experience a permanent exhibition. This project, incorporating the creations of five audio artists, is curated by Alex Keller in conjunction with the always intriguing Church of the Friendly Ghost.

What will the future of space exploration look like? Pat Rawlings, the featured artist at the LBJ Library, will show us that space exploration may be very different from what we currently know and imagine. The LBJ Library features an exhibit featuring his interpretations of future space events, giving viewers a sense of being on the journey through images based on scientific and technical themes that appeal to both rocket scientists and regular folks.
