We told you about the recent fire at Big Medium’s new place at 4201 S. Congress, the conflagration that damaged their “No Kings But Us” exhibit of collaborative works by Austin punk legend Tim Kerr and Houston-based visual artist Robert Hodge.
And now the creative community is rallying around the local arts organization, and the honchos of Big Medium have announced an Open House (Thu., Feb. 1, noon-6pm) – where you can check out the venue’s co-working facilities, flex space, and photo studio, and learn how to use the facilities with a monthly membership or as a temporary rental – followed by the Fire Recovery Exhibition (Thu., Feb. 1, 6-9pm), a fundraising event where the artwork sale proceeds will go to the artists, to Big Medium gallery repairs and the relaunch of the “No Kings But Us” show, and to a nonprofit supporting unhoused individuals and families.
The roof, the roof, the roof may no longer be on fire – but that only gives this helpful party more reason to celebrate.
