PBR Gambler Days

Your local bull-riding squad hosts the rest of the PBR teams to compete in a three-day smorgasbord of hooting, hollering, bucking, and horn-dodging. Here’s to hoping the home team goes the full eight seconds without meeting the business end of the bull. Spoiler: Both sides of the bull are the business end.

Austin Area Train Show

More than 25,000 square feet of model railroading: Need we say more? Even though this city seems to have a cursed relationship to efficiently built railways, at least you can check out tiny trains for only $8 as an adult or for free as a kid.

“Roots Unveiled: Exploring the Chinese Experience”

Among the many anti-civil rights bills creeping their way through the Texas Legislature is Senate Bill 17, which would bar Chinese and many other Asian citizens from buying land here. Denounced by detractors as racist and reminiscent of 19th-century laws targeting Asian immigrants, its 2023 origins, along with growing anti-Asian sentiment after the pandemic, inspired Houston artist Jane Xu to found the multi-city Asian American Art & Culture Initiative and initiate this multidisciplinary exhibit. Curated by renowned international independent curator Sylvia XuHua Zhan, it brings in-depth research and archives along with work from a wide range of artists to offer a look at the rich history of Chinese Americans in Texas. Opening reception is Sunday, May 18, noon. – Kat McNevins
