A joint message from the Board of Directors at Big Medium, steward of the Austin Studio Tour for 22 years, and our team at Almost Real Things.

We are pleased to announce that the Austin Studio Tour will continue this fall! This will mark the 23rd year of the beloved citywide celebration of artists, studios, and creative spaces across Austin.

Toward that end, the Big Medium Board of Directors is proud to share that Almost Real Things will be producing the 2025 event in its entirety. As longtime champions of Austin’s creative community, Almost Real Things has the energy, innovation, and deep local roots to serve as an excellent steward of this important Austin tradition.

“We are honored that Big Medium has entrusted us with the legacy of the Austin Studio Tour,” states Zachary Zulch, CEO and Founder of Almost Real Things.

“Since 2003, Big Medium has connected artists to art lovers, weaving a strong foundation of community. Since our first participation in 2016, we have been inspired through countless unforgettable memories, friendships, and opportunities. The Studio Tour is an essential part of Austin’s culture, and we are dedicated to fostering a sustainable platform for the thousands of creators who are the heart and soul of our city.”
