No Outlet is a gallery of interventions and intentions at dead ends, sidewalk ends, cul-de-sacs, end of paths, and no outlets, dispersed across Austin.
Saul Jerome San Juan painted plein air at a no outlet off 360, on a road that has been reclaimed by a creek.

a single penny with a tinyurl was left on a pile of leaves at a barrier where two roads split. Ripple checked the installation regularly. If a penny disappeared, he replaces it along with a new tinyurl.

What is Wished For
2020
"We are social creatures and without one another we cannot be whole. Missing each other is like missing a limb. We reach but do not find the thing we long to touch. By putting our longing to paper and then into this box, our wishes can touch, even when we cannot."

Organizer’s Statement
We can read the signage and roads of our City as texts: fictions, histories, habits, doodles, scripts, tarots…
The “No Outlet” sign marks an end of explicit options. The art made for these stages present new options.
