Join us on November 17th for our first social of the year at the Waller Creek Conservancy Creek Show Artist Talk. It’s sure to be a fun night of art and design! All five design teams will be on hand to discuss their installations in detail. The Contemporary Austin’s Andrea Mellard will facilitate the discussion. You can find more info on the Facebook event. A limited number of tickets are available for a recommended $5 donation to WCC and includes admission, light refreshments and drinks.
On November 19, please help us welcome Tracey Edgar. She’s representing Landscape Structures, a proud Vision Partner of Kiwanis International. In this partnership, we hope to work together to bring play and playgrounds to communities across the globe. They provide high-quality commercial playground equipment and services that reflect the high degree of integrity that Kiwanis demands.
