FIESTA! 💃🎨 Such a great celebration of art & music

FIESTA! 💃🎨 Such a great celebration of art & music and we're so thankful for the opportunity to bring our Touch the Art pop-up experience! Open again at noon--we're right behind the stage with art by @chitram.arts @minds0up @carabella.designs & students from the Texas School for the Blind & Visually impaired 🖼️👈

We had so much exciting news we had to run around

We had so much exciting news we had to run around Canopy & tell you all about it!

Filming this video required training like a pop star training for a tour (singing while running on a treadmill). The brave camerawoman was even wearing flip flops while she filmed this. 🙏🏽

You already know this update but we are still this excited about @aarondegruyter creating this year’s Guidebook Cover!!!

The camerawoman will be playing this clip during her future workplace negligence lawsuit. 🧐🥸

We are so excited to catch as many events as possible before and after the Tour!

Hmmm looks like someone needs to train on the treadmill a little more before we film the next sprint + talk video 👀

‼️ The AST 2026 Guidebook Cover is here... and it’

‼️ The AST 2026 Guidebook Cover is here... and it’s beautiful! @aarondegruyter designed and screen-printed this print for us. A little about the piece from Aaron:

“My inspiration includes elements of my childhood, my personal healing journey and the metamorphosis of the Tour. In my own blossoming, two elements stand out: a reconnection to my emotions (sky, clouds) and finding support (flowers). These elements ground me, rooting me in something larger than myself. Utilizing art to process where I fit in can feel isolating, but participating in the Tour connects me with artists and my community.”

We are counting down the days till we see this art on our new Guidebook! Stay tuned for details about how you can get your paws on it. 👀
