Art shows are always fun. I mean, in that way that casually evaluating the outpourings of someone else's soul can be. Then walking by, saying, "Well, that was kind of cool" or instead "Whatever." Then going to lunch.
I'm sure the second annual Toy Joy Art Show was full of that, but it was also a successful Austin event, held at the United States Art Authority (who knew, right? Must be an Austin thing.) That was in July, but of course you can make the next one in 2011. And who or what is Toy Joy?
Toy Joy is a true Austin original. We are an independent toy store and were established in 1987 to supply locals with meaningful toys. Toy Joy soon became famous for it's revolving stock of strange knick knacks and exotic goods. The concept grew along with the city, and soon Toy Joy became one of the largest and most popular toy retailers in the US.I'm not sure where they got that "largest and most popular" thing, but they're certainly among the most original retailers out there.
