The event is self guided;attendees are welcome to walk or drive to different venues scattered throughout Austin. Because of this, attendees can pick and choose which artists to visit and what they want to do.

EAST is family friendly and open to all ages. Some artists have hands-on activities for those who wish to learn about their works and how the artists create masterpieces. Other artists display their work around their studios for people to look at and enjoy. Most participating artists have works for sale, such as sculptures, paintings, or jewelry.

Overall, EAST provides the public with an opportunity to immerse themselves in art and meet some of the people who make Austin a vibrant place to live.
