And here's another of those freewheelin' nights of live art, performances, and music in the gallery-styled warehouse setting of Cherry Cola Dog.

Maybe never mind whatever else is going on in Austin right now, citizen. Because tonight you can attend this sartorial fantasia from the Hyperreal Film Club and Co-Lab Projects, this event that's transforming the huge, raw warehouse space at the back of Austin School of Film into a high-fashion spectacle. The three-part runway showcase premieres new lines from Austin-based designers Melissa Taylor, Ida Béhjat, and Samantha Fabry. Listen: "DIPTYCH is an inclusive show, welcoming everybody from everywhere to celebrate fashion as a personal, self-expressive art form and its ability to delight, provoke, and inspire." Yeah, this is the stuff you want to see and wear, and tonight's gig is the best way to witness its entrance onto the world's stage – and not just because the joint turns into one big party immediately thereafter. But you know we're gonna like that part, too.

This 42nd(!) annual showcase boasts an array of unique sculptural and utilitarian pottery crafted by studio owner Judy Conroy and artists Shirley Fox, Tina Lewis, Marc Jeannin, and Rebeccah Polk.

Beryl Kerwick, Pete Holland, and Vivien Burns are the featured artists this month.

This "Prima Materia," this exhibition of first stuff, is also also close to the termina praesentationem – the final exhibition – for Pump Project. Yeah, rising rents. Because Austin, right?

Curated by Erin Cunningham, Alyssa Taylor Wendt, and the ICOSA Collective.

2017 was the last year for Jennifer Chenoweth's Fisterra Studio participating in the East Austin Studio Tour, but the annual event – part of EAST since the beginning! – had a deep effect on Austin's sense of community and connectedness.
