*The event has already taken place on this date: Sun, 02/26/2017
The free outdoor, interactive art installation Hurlyburly, by internationally renowned artist Orly Genger, is open daily at the Waller Delta, adjacent to the Waller Creek Boathouse (74 Trinity).

Please help us keep this calendar up to date! If this activity is sold out, canceled, or otherwise needs alteration, email mindy@kidsoutandabout.com so we can update it immediately. If you have a question about the activity itself, please contact the organization administrator listed below.

Created using repurposed lobster rope, Hurlyburly is a massive outdoor piece of painted and hand-knotted rope. Recalling the languid flow of the creek, the undulating, woven structure invites visitors to interact with each other, with the work, and with the surrounding parkland.

The installation of Hurlyburly is made possible through the generous support of Michael and Jeanne Klein and Suzanne Deal Booth. Hurlyburly is installed on public parkland. Thank you to the City of Austin for their collaboration on this project.

Hurlyburly will be on view through February 2017. #hurlyburly #orlygenger #wallercreek #contemporaryATX
