A lively outdoor gathering at a quirky, art-filled venue in Austin, Texas. The space features bright pink triangular sun shades stretched overhead and matching pink umbrellas covering metal café tables and picnic benches. People of various ages sit at the tables, chatting, eating, and enjoying the relaxed atmosphere. A small stage at the center is framed by a corrugated metal roof and decorated with a bold black-and-white abstract mural; a DJ stands behind a booth with speakers on either side. Surrounding the space are lush green plants, string lights with pink bulbs, and a misting fan creating a fine haze for cooling. A white trailer with a large QR code and thank-you message for supporting The VORTEX sits to the left, blending into the venue’s artsy, community-focused vibe.

People relax and socialize in and around a pool at the Austin Motel during a “Float Film” event. An inflatable movie screen is set up at the edge of the pool, with inflatable floats and colorful drinks adding to the festive atmosphere. Some guests float in the water while others stand or sit poolside under red-and-white umbrellas. The motel’s retro sign and mid-century buildings are visible in the background.

Downtown Austin from the east, featuring train tracks running through a busy street, lined with trees and vegetation in the foreground. Modern high-rise buildings with glass and steel facades dominate the skyline, interspersed with older, low-rise structures. Cars navigate the streets below, and traffic lights and street signs add to the busy, bustling atmosphere. Clear skies with light clouds above the city.
