SARF Food Truck – EAST Austin Studio Tour – #235
On 11, Nov 2022 | In News | By The S.A.R.F.
Austin Studio Tour – #235
Nov. 12-13 & Nov. 19-20 12pm-4pm
at Austin Creative Alliance – 81 San Marcos St. Austin, TX
with Vision Gland art collective
We’ll be at 81 San Marcos St. Austin, TX (Austin Creative Alliance) for the next two weekends (stop #235 on the Austin Studio Tour), where we’re joining up with Vision Gland art collective!
We will have a stuffed animal food truck. We have pretended to partner with a highly-touted local eatery to pretend to provide food for Austin’s hippest stuffed epicurean gastro(g)nomes. Expect long lines of foodie stuffies with the most refined of palates. Think Franklin BBQ, but without the food or humans.
If you don’t know them, the Vision Gland folks are pretty epic. They made their own roller coaster a few years ago… and a human-sized hamster wheel… among many other things. So, duh, you should come see what awesome fun elaborate constructions they’ve created this time! The theme is Arcade – so there will be lots of large and playable games for your wonderment and awe.
Nov. 12-13 & Nov. 19-20 12pm-4pm at Austin Creative Alliance – 81 San Marcos St. Austin, TX

Stuffed Animal Adoptions Press Conference

Adoption Announcements Press Conference, Jan. 31, 2022
Updates from The SARF HQ
On 13, Jan 2022 | In News | By The S.A.R.F.
It’s that time of year again… The 37th Street Petting Zoo is over, and we’re hard at work evaluating adoption applications. Announcements should come around the 31st!
Austin is once again in Covid Stage 5, so we’ve been reluctant to open up The SARF HQ. It’s sounding like we might be reaching the peak of the surge soon, though, so we’re hoping to open up again very soon! Please stay tuned!
We’re planning some fun events for the hopefully-soon post-covid-surge times, including a revival of our popular Stuffed Animal Speed Dating event– just in time for Valentine’s Day.
Also, we’ll be opening up for more stuffed animal clothing-making workshops as soon as it’s safe to go back in the proverbial water.
In the meantime, if you’re looking for stuffed animal repairs, email me at info@thesarf.org.
