Art
will be the theme of OST100 for the month of February
On and Off Fredericksburg Studio Art Tour, along the
Fredericksburg Road OST corridor February 8, 9 & 10, will become
the model we share with other communities to promote art and artists
along their local OST corridors. http://www.onandofffred.org/
More below signature block.
Mary Bonner was the artist for the 1920s OST Association. Reply to
this e-mail to get instructions to view her studio during the weekend
of February 8, 9 & 10.
Hannibal Pianta (concrete artist for Jefferson HS, Majestic,
Aztec & Empire Theaters) had his studio at 300 Fredericksburg Road
as the OST was becoming paved. A self-driving tour of his home,
studio and local works will be posted on http://www.oldspanishtrailcentennial.com/
during February.
The Woodlawn Theater, OST100 model to other communities for theater
restoration, is presenting Taming of the Shrew February 1, 2, & 3
and Grease beginning February 15. http://www.woodlawntheatre.com/

self-guided two day tour of artist studios and galleries
"on and off" Fredericksburg Road
in San Antonio, Texas
February 9 and 10, 2008.
The
mission of “On and Off Fredericksburg Rd.” is to embrace and
promote the work of diverse visual and cultural artists, enhance the
appreciation for the arts in the community, and stimulate neighborhood
revitalization.
The
On and Off Fredericksburg Rd. Studio Tour weekend
kicks off at Bihl Haus Arts on Friday evening, February 8, 6:00-9:00
pm with the not-to-be missed On and Off Fred Autograph Party. On
exhibit are works of art from each of the 40+ artists on the tour.
(Most of the works on display are reproduced in our 52-page full color
catalog ($5), available at The Koffee Kup, 1025 Donaldson.) At
the Party, you’ll be able to meet the artists—they’ll be
available to autograph copies of the catalog--and to mingle with local
notables, enjoy libations and delightful hors d'oeuvres, and listen to
the rhythmic jazz of Bobby Natanson. This event is free and open to
the public, so please bring your friends! On hand will be
artists who live and work in the Monticello Park, Jefferson, Woodlawn
Lake, Los Angeles Heights/Keystone, and Beacon Hill Neighborhoods.

Friends
of OST100,
This
past winter a dedicated group of folks created a Scenic Loop - Boerne
Stage Road Alliance to find ways to preserve the natural beauty of the
outer end of what was once known as the San Antonio Scenic Loop
driving route. They have moved forward with the help of the
Bexar County Historical Commission, County Commissioner
Larson's, and State Representative Leibowitz's offices to
prepare a bill now in the State Legislature giving Texas Counties the
authority to create historic roadways. If this bill passes,
Commissioners Court is prepared to make the Scenic Loop-Boerne
Stage Road corridor the first Bexar County Historic Roadway. The
Boerne Stage Road portion is part of the Headquarters Section of the
Old Spanish Trail auto highway.
Dixie Watkins has graciously made his architecture website available
for folks wanting to send notes of support to the Scenic Loop - Boerne
Stage Road Alliance. The letter can be found at the bottom of the
LINKS index on http://www.dwiiiassoc.com/. This
is an opportunity for you to help with Centennial Preparations of
the OST.
You are invited to bring your laptop to help create new materials as
we sit around Marianna Jones' dining room table OSTuesday,

We would appreciate it if you could reply to this e-mail telling us in
what way you use the website. We are now receiving nearly 100
visitors daily, so know that someone is reading the materials.
It would help make the site more effective if each of you would take a
few minutes to tell us your favorite (and your least favorite) topic
on the site; what needs clarification or updating and any
thoughts you may have about new items that would be helpful in telling
the OST story.
OST100
is in the process of creating a partnership with the American
Volkssport Association. Our first event, the Easter
Walk organized by the Hill Country Volkssportverein, altho' a cold
rainy day, was a wonderful success as far as the warm reception their
club gave us as we shared OST information with their walkers. We
will take OST materials to the Camp Verde HOME
OF THE CAMELS Walk
sponsored by the Kerrville Trailblazers, Saturday, May 5, 2007.
Join us during the day to help with the OST booth, try the 10K
walk, or just to enjoy the historic Camp Verde General Store and
park. Map to Camp Verde, times and volkssporting information is
in the flyer available on http://www.walktx.org/KerrvilleTrailblazers/
As Centennial Preparations continue we will be encouraging the OST100
groups in other communities to participate with their AVA Clubs. These
partnerships will be of great support in helping create the 3000-mile
OST Hike and Bike Trail to be completed in time for the 2029 Grand
Finale of OST Centennial Celebrations.
Come
join the fun,
