On Father's Day, Bolm Studios is proud to host a special group show celebrating Dad. Thirty Austin artists have been invited to paint, draw or capture the essence of their father, for better or worse, and have the results hang in the Bolm Studios Gallery.

Among the artists lined up to participate include Eyebeam’s Sam Hurt, Waking Life head animator Bob Sabiston, the collaborative art group SODALITAS, Jenny Hart, Katy O’Connor, and Blue Genie’s Dana Younger, Chris Coakley and Ian Shults. The show will spill out into the Bolm Studios courtyard, with several interactive events planned as a full fledged tribute to 'Dear Old Dad' including a real live BBQ featuring the best dogs and burgers this side of the Colorado, along with beverages and Kool-Aid for the little ones.

All fathers are encouraged to attend with their families, and see the imagery and thoughts brought to mind by the artists in the show
