Art Outside

Art Outside has been under the creative direction of Warren McKinney and the Art Seen Alliance team since 2008.

Though hard to sum up in such a short space, Art Outside can quickly be described as a fully immersive camping festival experience with an emphasis on curated art, wellness workshops & diverse music. Originally located at the Enchanted Forest near downtown Austin, AO really took root in the national festival scene once it relocated to the sprawling Apache Pass Event Center.
