Nov 14–15 & 21–22
Just South of Austin. Art in Its Natural State. An outdoor exhibition featuring Kyle the Welder and Cris Rutz.
Welcome to Xcentric Austin.
Just south of Austin, where the city fades and nature takes over, there's a place where art runs wild and creativity has no rules. Welcome to Xcentric Austin, where unexpected art, interesting people, and a little bit of weird come together. No traditional galleries. No stuffy atmosphere. Just art, nature, and the freedom to experience something different.
The Lowden Property
Tucked away at 12928 Lowden Lane in Manchaca, the Lowden property is more than a piece of land. It's a creative playground in the making. From outdoor art exhibitions and a growing community garden to future movie nights under the stars, immersive dome experiences, stargazing, campfires, and community gatherings, the possibilities are wide open. We're building a place where artists, dreamers, makers, and curious minds can connect, create, and just hang out. We're not exactly sure what this place will become, and that's part of the fun.
Stay for the unexpected.
