Austin, TX, 78702

Here's a bit about Blue Genie:

"Our Art Bazaar and other shows have featured 100's of artists, and provided a local venue for art commerce.  Our internship program has helped many young artists learn hands-on skills and the reality of making art.

Blue Genie Art is a community leader in Austin's active art scene.
Over the last 10 years, Blue Genie Art has helped establish a city that could proudly have the slogan, "Keep Austin Weird".  Blue Genie's sculptures and murals have helped create a mood in Austin that has boosted commerce and tourism  (Austin Mural, Bob Bullock History Museum).  And in so doing, we have also helped raise the level of awareness of art in general in Austin, Texas."
