Without question, the Elisabet Ney is one of Austin’s most magical spots. The former sculpture studio of its namesake, on pretty much any day you can walk in and see beautiful works-in-progress as well as finished pieces by the long-gone artist. But on special days – such as, IDK, this Saturday – the museum grounds turn into a place of wider artistic celebration. This year’s bash draws parallels to Ney and contemporary artists Beili Liu, Virginia L. Montgomery, and Tammie Rubin, whose work features in new exhibition “Breaking the Mold.” Also featured will be a one-night performance from workout warrier Erica Nix, music by Lou Priest – aka Kate Priestley’s new solo project – and guided tours. – James Scott
