photography by ben porter This is Austin Way's second annual Art of the City issue, and our editorial team, spearheaded by Editor-in-Chief Kathy Blackwell, is talking about all kinds of creative things happening in Austin. From the start, with Jennifer Chenoweth's XYZ Atlas: The Hedonic Map of Austin on our cover, to the end with a stunning, modern design collection featured from B&B Italia on the back cover, Austin Way mirrors the city's constant desire to keep art and design top of mind. Creative minds are emerging all over our city, showcasing their talents to enhance the Austin community. Art is being elevated, literally, as our city's skyline becomes more dynamic and intriguing to match Austin's energy. Weekend hotspot Rainey Street is being enhanced by CJ Sackman's 70 Rainey, and another bustling nightlife destina- tion, West Sixth, is gaining a dramatic new design concept known as Fifth & West. And let's not forget The Independent, Austin's Jenga Tower represented by Kevin Burns and Urban Space that will tower over our city's core as the tallest residen- tial building west of the Mississippi. As some set their design eye in the sky, others are starting from the ground up, such as the Saint Elmo Public Market at South Congress and Industrial Boulevard. This unique retail and office space is designed to capture the essence of Austin's creative vibe: housing, music, entertainment, and media technology entrepreneurs alike under one spectacular roof. Not to mention the new Domain Northside, which features local artist' murals and street art woven through the amazing retail and residential addition to The Domain. While these new endeavors are exciting, we are sure to tip our hats to certain iconic Austin artists such as Evan Voyles. His trademark neon signs are a part of Austin on which new creative minds can keep building. And we will keep on applauding the past, present, and future artists that keep the Art of the City alive. . clockwise from top left: At our Second Annual Women of Power dinner with Late Spring cover star Regina King and Turk Pipkin; with John Wilkinson and Jackie Van Meter at the grand opening of SouthStar Bank's Sendero Springs location; with Rebekah Leaver, Andy McCreadie, and Justine Mooney at Classic Jaguar; celebrating the success of Humane Society of the United States President Wayne Pacelle's new book, The Humane Economy, featured across all of GreenGale's titles in their Late Spring issues. lou delone 22 AUSTINWAY.com LETTER FROM THE PUBLISHER
