During this year’s Downtown Austin Alliance Holiday Stroll, the city is inviting you to a Fika at the Old Bakery and Emporium. The conversation and coffee at the event will center around a new mural on the south-facing wall at the 1006 Congress Ave. park. According to a press release from the city, “(C)ommunity members are encouraged to grab a hot chocolate and chat with local artist, RichesArt, who will provide graphic sketches and work with community members to project their vision onto the future mural wall, helping visualize a mural in the space. RichesArt will also provide a spray paint canvas wall for people to experience the process of creating a mural.” The open house will take place on Saturday, Dec. 3, 5-10 p.m. at the Old Bakery and Emporium.
