Bale Creek Allen Gallery: Sweet Black Angel
The newest show at BCA is a collection of Gary Wong's complex layerings of images and text. The artist says: "As an Asian American, I feel outside. As an artist, I have no problem. As an Asian American artist, I have sometimes been made to feel that Asians are supposed to have a special mystique and design sense. I have never known what that is supposed to mean but I know I’m not a designer. I am an American with Chinese heritage. I am an artist whose eyes are trained in the language of paint and whose work meanders through the pantheon of American Abstract Painting and the problems inherent in the genre and the discovering one’s own voice in the process."Through May 9 -

Camiba Art: Since Last We Met
What do you get when you rescue a discarded Leclerc table loom from the curb during a neighborhood walk? If you're acclaimed ceramic artist Jen Rose, you use the knowledge you gained about weaving in college and you integrate that weaving into your porcelain practice. What do you get if you visit Rose's latest show of works, now on display at this fine gallery? An eyeful of sculptural creations, threaded multiples, that are hung, draped, twisted, and manipulated toward a pattern-rich kinesis. This show, tell you what, it's sublime.Through May 15 -

CMW: Eastside Cool Party & Grand Re-opening
Those irrepressible beermongers at Central Machine Works are opening up all the way this Saturday, splashing the town with multiple brewery suds and celebrating our collective entry into what they're calling The Aftertimes.

Still, it'll be a day of live music (starting at 4pm), the release of CMW's new Export lager collab with Hi Sign Brewery, even more xanthic quaffs from Batch, Blue Owl, Lazarus, Meanwhile, Oddwood, Pinthouse, Southern Heights, and Zilker – and all those tasty thirst-slakers will be raising money for Casa Marianella.Sat., May 1, 11am-12mid -
