Art House

Enjoy

Collecting art sounds like an out-of-reach pastime reserved for those that also hoard cars, houses and priceless jewels. For most of us, our wall decor consists of framed candids of friends and maybe a finger painting from an artiste of a niece.

Austin Art Garage believes that art connoisseurs come from all economic backgrounds and should be able to start their own collection no matter the depth of their pockets. Spotlighting local artists, this gallery space connects buyers to the Austin art world and keeps at least 80% of its inventory below $500.

Pull into the garage to peruse current inventory and start your own priceless acquisition.
