Hello Lamp Post brings to life the hidden stories of Austin by finding out what the street furniture has to say. Get talking to familiar objects around the city using text messages.
For 10 weeks only everyday things will come to life. Text the official Hello Lamp Post phone number to find out what they have to say.

Hello Lamp Post will have a public event at Brush Square on 17th March, 2-4pm, where you'll be able to meet the creators, learn more about the system and ask any questions.
We will also be distributing flyers for Art Alliance Austin's tour for Hello Lamp Post! Follow the map on the back of the flyer to talk to some of our favorite objects, which just happen to be next to some of our favorite Austin art spaces.
Our other cultural partners will also be hosting a number of events during the 10 weeks, so keep checking the tours page for more details.
