  • Laundry & Bourbon with Lonestar

    Laundry and Bourbon with Lonestar, two companion one act plays set in backyards of a small Texas town. Three ladies come together to talk about their life's ups and downs. Lonestar follows the life of three small town boys and the events that have shaped them. Both shows give us highs & lows with humor spread around, for good measure.

    ICOSA's Window Dressing VI: Nom Ceramics

    Nyaaaah, Covid-19, it's not all about you all the time: ICOSA has been running this series of tiny exhibitions in its front window at Canopy for a while now – whenever the gallery's been closed for installation. So this isn't any makeshift plague-time alternative here; this is just business as usual. Except that – no disrespect to the previous window shows – this display of work by Scott Proctor and Rebeca Milton of Nom Ceramics is much too beautiful to be called "business as usual.": Either hand-built or thrown, Nom's ceramic forms are created to interact with the patterns and line-work in the creators' drawings, the glazed surfaces limned in reference to nostalgic imagery, patterns, and color schemes, reflecting Proctor and Milton's interest in traditional ceramic practices, historical form, and experimental contemporary technique.: And, boy howdy, it'll sure be nice to stroll through Canopy for an eyeful of this delicate industry, won't it?

    Northern-Southern: Baton

    This is a group show by relay, begun in July of 2020 as a method of socially distancing a community in the height of the pandemic: Artists took turns alone in the space, each adding to the exhibition. Now, as it nears its close, the exhibition resembles a community in which work converses and overlaps. With Adreon Henry, Vy Ngo, Dawn Okoro, Leon Alesi, Matt Steinke, Sev Coursen, Stella Alesi, and more.
    Closing reception: Sat., July 24, 3-9pm

    Bullock Texas State History Museum: This Light of Ours

    This show features images by activist photographers of the Civil Rights Movement, telling a visual story of the struggle against segregation, race-based disenfranchisement, and Jim Crow laws in the 1960s. These photos capture the day-to-day struggles of everyday citizens and their resolve in the face of violence and institutionalized discrimination – with more than a dozen additional images representing activism and protest in Austin's own history.
    Tuesdays-Sundays. Through Dec. 6
