Like you need an excuse to witness the glory of historical sculpting genius Elisabet Ney's work? Well, then here you go: In the same storied venue, an exhibition of figurative sculpture by the contemporary artist (and Blue Genie dude) Dana Younger – who we won't call a "genius," but only because he's very much alive and would likely blush at the term. But, still, these two temporally divided local giants of three-dimensional, human-based art? What an excellent pairing with which to immerse your eyes in wonder. And this is what our reviewer thinks about the show.

Here's a new exhibition based on Dutch photographer Micky Hoogendijk's first book, featuring portraiture reflecting the concealed vulnerability and beauty of her subjects.

This exhibition features new work in multiple media, work that explores topics of bird migration, communication, taxonomy, feeding behavior, natural history, flight behavior, bird diversity, and conservation. Artists Carol Cunningham, Carrie Carlson, Emily Coleman, Kim Heise, Lauren Rochell, Lisa Rawlinson, Pat Falconer, Zoë Trautz, Rachel Ramirez, and Sarah St. Laurent bring the ornithological wonders.

Now here's one of the world's most comprehensive collections of South Asian paintings outside of India, right there in the gorgeous venue on MLK. See for yourself these "dynamic images originally associated with important literary and religious texts, organized according to thematic narratives."

In their three-channel film installation, Teresa Hubbard and Alexander Birchler present a decaying movie set just outside Marfa, left behind after the 1956 filming of Giant.

In which the artist Gary Anderson explores and, with a variety of materials, creates "artifacts from worlds that dwell within."

In addition to the gallery spaces, Camiba Art also leads guided art tours locally and around the world. This summer, for the first time, they've have brought back examples from just five of the dozens of artist studios visited. Featuring works by Julio Alba, Leonardo Diaz, Roman Eguia, Alejandra Mendoza, and Manuel Mugica.

We're getting goosebumps just writing this blurb, that's how gorgeous the work in the Davis Gallery's "Elements" exhibition is. Because the artists whose work is displayed here, each of them have created pieces representing one of the four materials noted in the show's title. And those artists are Giota Vorgia, Randall Reid, Barbara Attwell, and Annie Darling. And, Austinite, if you don't already know what those four names herald in the way of skill, mastery, and sublime visual impact of production … well, we envy you the introduction to this quartet of artmakers.

Frank X Tolbert 2 has explored the birds of Texas in large-scale paintings, etchings, and drawings, transforming the feathered creatures into darkly familiar personalities. Now see the results take odd and papery wing on the walls of this excellent venue.

Two solo exhibitions here, in which each artist has developed a highly personal visual language, exploring a singular medium with infinite variations. Deconstructed books and intaglio printing on kites? Strange and papery beauty thrills the air.

Ah, darn you to heck, Georgetown, the way you force an Austin-based journal to list something in your so-far-north venue – by featuring a show of gorgeous landscape work by Shawn Camp, Karen Maness, and Rebecca Bennett, artists whose creations we might, if we had to, drive all the way to goddamn Saskatchewan to see. Oh, the temerity!

This is the gallery's first exhibition of sculpture and painting by Catherine Lee, featuring work in bronze, iron, glass, and ceramic. The gathered array displays three-dimensional objects that resemble pottery shards, knife blades, arrow heads, and amphorae; and the accompanying "Quanta" paintings obliquely record the passage of time. Bonus: "Remnants, Relics, and Incidentals," an exhibition of new work by Jessica Halonen, in the adjoining Project Room.

This immersive and interactive exhibit at the Texas State History Museum explores the past and future of electronic gaming through the player's experience – with dozens of rare artifacts, brought together for the first time from extensive collections across the globe.

This exhibition of envelope work from the 1930s and 1940s highlights a folk-art tradition enhanced by the five Texas artists represented here: Gladys Adler, Florene Edmiston O’Neill, R.H. Swartz, Lonnie Smith, and Dr. Charles Martin.

This place, ah, it's one of our favorite places in the entire city; and of course they're properly corona-closed. But check 'em out online right now – it's a rich, wonder-filled website – to whet your appetite for when things get back to … uh … are we still calling it "normal," these days?
