Blanton All Day: New Year, New Groove
In numerology, January 11 is known as a “portal day,” meaning it holds powerful potential to help people manifest their dreams. So it’s a perfect day to be surrounded by the inspiration the Blanton holds. From 10am to 8pm, explore the modern art collections on view and take part in hourly interactive art activities for all ages like origami or “Drawing to See.” Assistant curator Sarah Bane leads a lively discussion at 2pm on 1930s New York life based on Chatham Square by Reginald Marsh, and Dr. Francisco Mamani-Fuentes talks about stunning, intricate wooden vaults from 16th-18th century Peru. From 4 to 8pm, a pop-up print exhibit reflects on the seasons of the year, and a silent disco and DJ set from Peligrosa Collective add music to the mix. Bring a picnic and make the most of your portal day! – Kat McNevinsSat., Jan. 11 -

Dog Man: The Musical
Kiddos could use a little fun now that school’s weighin’ ’em down again, so why not cruise on down Congress for this silly stageplay? Based on Captain Underpants author Dav Pilkey’s newest series, this romp has classic characters George and Harold writing up a musical based on their character Dog Man. Up against ferocious foes like Flippy the cyborg fish and Petey (aka the world’s most evil cat), Dog Man races to save the day as George and Harold race to finish their work before recess. Suggested for ages 6 and up by the Paramount, this’ll be just the non-screen entertainment you and your youngings need … at least until Dog Man the movie arrives on Jan. 31. – James ScottJan. 11-12
