PHOTOGRAPHY BY BEN PORTER INVITED 132 AUSTINWAY.COM 25 YEARS OF THE UMLAUF The Umlauf Sculpture Garden & Museum celebrated 25 years of bringing beauty and art to the Austin area with the highly anticipated Umlauf Garden Party. Over 1,100 of Austin's most elegant and philanthropic people gathered at the gardens for the occasion. Guests were greeted with Tito's cocktails served out of the original travel bus and, upon arrival into the gardens, given their official Garden Party wine glasses for the assortment of Twin Liquors wine. Sounds by the Nash Hernandez Orchestra filled the air as people strolled along the garden paths where Austin's hottest chefs were serving up an array of dishes. The evening was truly a celebration of Austin's most beautiful people, scenery, and art.
