    “Dog Days”

    When the profound connection between dog and human has become fetishized and monetized for clicks, where’s a soulful dog person to go? Why not this group exhibition, which pays sweet tribute to our four-legged fam? Referencing the origins of “dog days” as a time of unrest in ancient times, DORF curators Sara Vanderbeek and Eric Manche are using the show to advance a different narrative: “that in a time of global uncertainty and rising temperatures, the steady, loving presence of a dog can be a grounding force – a source of comfort, stability, and meaning.” Friday’s pet-friendly opening reception will have on-site adoptions, live dog portrait painting by Ami Plasse, and a doggy dance party with DJ Dana Scully. – Kimberley Jones

    “duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, grayDUCK!”

    Okay so: What’s with all the ducks? If you count them, it’s one duck for each year that this art gallery has been hosting art. This anniversary exhibition, curated by Los Outsiders collective, has a work of art representative of each year in the life of grayDUCK. It’s kinda like one of those videos where someone takes a photo of themselves every year, except in this case it’s something beautiful or poignant, and isn’t that better? Kicks off this Saturday, May 24 and runs through June 28. – James Renovitch

    “ECHOES ATX”: The Past, Present, and Future of Black & Brown Austin

    Austin wasn’t just grown from the fruits of Willie Nelson and the Texas Longhorns. Like many metropolitan areas, it had a thriving scene of diverse voices that fed this city’s very roots. Those voices were here, and they’re still here, contributing to everything that makes Austin special. Celebrate them with a two-week extravaganza acknowledging Austin’s rich history and bright future through art, music, and conversation. Curated by photographer Jay Ybarra and sociology scholar Shania Montúfar, “ECHOES” reflects their vibrant views of Austin’s grassroots community creators. Join the opening celebration this Saturday with DJ sets, art workshops, and artistic pieces that beg to be experienced firsthand. It all runs for the next two weeks. – Cat McCarrey

    Different Stages: For the Pleasure of Seeing Her Again

    Mother’s Day might have made some folks sentimental. Did you reflect on what you’ve inherited from your mother? The sacrifices she made and the support she gave? Keep that ruminative mood going with Different Stages, as they present a classic mother/son dynamic in Quebecois king Michel Tremblay’s For the Pleasure of Seeing Her Again. Tremblay’s mother was apparently a force to be reckoned with. She shared her creativity and love for literature with him, but died before he gained writing success. Pleasure explores their history and relationship while paying homage to an indomitable, inspirational woman. – Cat McCarrey

    Grand Hotel: The Musical

    Alchemy Theatre continues their quest to present shows away from the beaten path. They’re keeping musical history alive with restagings of past pieces that may be gone but will not be forgotten. Grand Hotel is the latest in that journey, an extravaganza packed wall-to-wall (and room-to-room) with showstopping numbers. (Seriously, if nothing else, please head over to YouTube to watch Michael Jeter – aka Sesame Street’s Mister Noodle – earn his well-deserved Tony.) Set in 1928 Berlin, Grand Hotel balances joyful music with bitter truths, letting the audience snoop into the lives of the hotel’s sometimes-nefarious guests, whose secrets reveal themselves over the course of their stay. So check in to check out what lurks in such luxurious lodgings. – Cat McCarrey

    Kerrville Folk Festival

    Since 1972, there’s only been one fest with the length (18 days!), the talent (Dale Watson! Fruition! Carsie Blanton!), and the craft-building (songwriting, guitar, and harmonica workshops all fest!) to bring everyone out into nature like Kerrville Folk Fest.
