    Cloud Tree: McMeans X Timberlake

    Here's a show of new works from multi-medium Austin artists Landry McMeans and Lily Timberlake, featuring McMeans' three-dimensional reliefs and hand-cut stencil prints that evoke the muted psychedelia of the American Southwest – and Timberlake's weavings from her homemade tapestry-style loom, for which she uses traditional wool yarns and found materials. Note: Timberlake moved to Austin from Australia's New South Wales in 2020; reckon you can more easily drive across town to enjoy this exhibition in the handsome Cloud Tree gallery on East Fifth.
    Through Oct. 31

    Laguna Gloria

    This local treasure of a venue, run by those Contemporary Austin folks who also bring us the Jones Center shows Downtown, is all about the outdoors – which is perfect for these trickily navigated times of ours, n'est-ce pas? Recommended: Stop by and breathe in the air, enjoy the lawns and gardens and the many examples of world-class sculpture arrayed across the property, and (as Frankie used to say) r-e-l-a-x.
    Thu.-Fri., 9am-noon; Sat.-Sun., 9am-3pm

    Northern-Southern: Location, Location, Location

    Here's the first show in the new N-S space – a building slated for demolition in about a year-and-a-half. The artists gathered share an occupation with place. The subject of each work is a place so specific it can be pinned on a map: domestic nooks, urban corners, secret trees, vast lakes, remote plains, the scars of highways.
    Through Oct. 24. Thu.-Sun., 2-6pm

    The Blanton: Sedrick Huckaby

    Texas-based artist Sedrick Huckaby explores psychology, community, and the human condition in his powerful portraits painted from life. The catalog notes say: "Through his virtuoso facility with oil paint, Huckaby utilizes texture, dimensionality, and intensely saturated colors to extraordinary expressive effect." Says the artist himself: "The African-American family and its heritage has been the content of my work for several years. In large-scale portraits of family and friends I try to aggrandize ordinary people by painting them on a monumental scale."

    The Museum of Natural & Artificial Ephemerata

    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?

    Wally Workman Gallery: A Piece of the Sky

    Priscilla Robinson explores visual interpretations of seasons, growth, and the rebirth of plants and light. She does this exploration, and she does it well, not just with acrylic paint, but also through combining those pigments with polycarbonate, cast glass, metal, and handmade paper made from a wide variety of plants. The beauty in this exhibition (and there is much of it) is not just visual but richly textural.
