An oasis? Maybe. You might have heard of Austin's Enchanted Forest from their horrifically scary haunted trail during the fall time or for their fashion shows and art events like Art Outside during the springtime. In 2008 the Forest even won 'Best Place to see Local Art' by the Chronicle readers poll. Either way, the 3.5 acres on West Oltorf and Lamar has something to suit your creative fancy whether you're a local aspiring artist or not.
Unfortunately, city hall forced the Enchanted Forest to close it's doors to the public last summer, disabling it's ability to hold this year's Art Outside in March after a tough fight. Various reasons led up to this incident, including laws involving the amount of people you're allowed to accommodate per plot of land, and fire marshal warnings about lighting in trees, etc. The Enchanted Forest is trying to reopen it's doors this October, for a rescheduled Art Outside event as it's doing it's finishing touches on getting up to par with city codes.
