Art On The Side

 Art On The Side was a wall on the building of The Studio by HGTV.  


People could come to a table beside the wall and sign a consent form and could paint whatever they wanted on the wall.  You had to sign a consent form, because there was a scaffold that you could stand on to paint and the scaffold proposed a liability issue.


"We're hoping it will take off," said Jonathan, a worker passing out fliers at the Art On The Side.  Jonathan said he worked for a company that was working with Art On The Side and that he was kind of like a third party in helping with this project. 


When I asked Jonathan if any famous people had come by to paint on the wall he said two ladies from the HGTV show, Junk Gypsies, and two twins from an interior design show on HGTV had come by to paint on the wall.


Jonathan also informed me that the building, The Studio by HGTV would be demolished in about a month after SXSW.


So, the artwork painted on this wall would be gone.


Here are some of Jonathan's favorite pieces on the wall...
