The Quattro Gallery seeks to promote the local and international art scene while at the same time, raise awareness and needed funds for the Austin Museum of Art to build their future planned museum. The idea of putting an art gallery in an architectural award winning car dealership was the vision of car dealer and artist David Stein. David’s vision for bringing the community together with the overall vision of helping build the new Austin Museum of Art has been praised by many and has gained recognition from artists local and abroad as well as major corporations here in the United States, Germany and Sweden.
Too often, Austin is considered primarily a performing arts city when so many dynamic visual artists go unnoticed and unsupported. Our goal is to promote artists from Austin and many famous artists from around the world to support a vision and awareness to help build a new Museum of Art in Austin, Texas. Since our agreement with AMOA of Audi being the official Vehicle of the Austin Museum of Art while promoting local and international artists in the Quattro Gallery, our organization as of 2007 is considered one of the largest corporate sponsors of AMOA and has generated over 1/3 of their entire current membership. The efforts of the Roger Beasley Car Dealerships as well as the Quattro Gallery Artists have already moved the visions of AMOA forward. Every person that purchases a car from Roger Beasley Audi is given a membership to AMOA on behalf of the Quattro Gallery. All art sold in the Quattro Gallery will generate additional funds for AMOA directly from the Artists that display in the Gallery.
Various artist organizations in the Austin area are also encouraged to display their works and hold meetings within the Quattro Gallery. We strive to make every medium and genre available to all those who visit the gallery in order to provide a broad representation of the art being created within Central Texas.
It is this kind of effort and “out of the Box” thinking that will someday make dreams become reality for AMOA. We encourage artists from around the world to join us in this venture. “Art has kept the world alive for thousands of years and the artists of today, without ever knowing, will help build art museums for thousands of years to come!” D. Stein
The inclusion of an art gallery within an Audi dealership follows the innovative principles upon which Quattro Gallery was founded: “Audi Drives the Arts!”
