    Butridge Gallery: Keeping House

    Veronica Ceci’s solo show is an inquiry into tactile beauty and societal ugliness in the life of a Queer femme working as a maid, and this is the first time the traveling (since 2017) exhibition will be displayed in Austin, where Ceci has lived since 2004. For this iteration, the artist presents a mix of new work along with early pieces, sharing the roots and current direction of her explorations.

    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.

    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.
