Austin Art Scene - West 6th Street Artists Market

	In addition to offering works for sale, many of the artists bring their studios with them to the Market. We have a silversmith that cuts, polishes and solders right there on the spot. You will often see several painters easels set up with paintings in progress. Come out and experience the magic of seeing art being created right before your eyes. You will be amazed at the quality and variety of the art you will see here. Decorating your home with art made locally and knowing that you supported these talented area artisans will give you satisfaction for years to come.

If you collect art, the Market is an excellent place to see both emerging artists and long-time professionals. An incubator for young and not-so-young artists just starting to market their work, our artist's creations sometimes end up in the city's finest galleries. And, of course, when you buy art directly from the artist, you not only have the opportunity to meet them in person, but you get the best price for their work. Do you need a gift for someone special? You can be assured that giving something that is one-of-a-kind and made by hand locally will be cherished by the recipient. Are you visiting Austin from out of town? Many of our artists include items that are Austin-inspired in their inventories. What better souvenir can there be than something uniquely Austin handmade in Austin by an Austinite!
