Contigo Catering: National Donut Day
Yeah, if there's one thing that can turn us into a drool-flooded Homer Simpson, it's a well-made donut. And if there's one thing humans have created in the name of celebration or marketing or whatever, it's a specially designated day for everything, right? So here we are now, all Scylla and Charybdis between those two things – and so glad that the mighty Contigo Catering is planning to assuage our fried-dough jones with not one but three fresh toroids of confectionary pleasure from chef Aimee Gunter: a plain glazed, a dulce de leche cream-filled, and a candied mint mojito. Note: 1) This is a one-day morningtime pop-up only, and 2) boozy coffee and regular coffee will also be available for purchase when you drive or walk on through. Mmmmm … boozy coffee.Fri., June 5, 9-11am4343 Stromquist -

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?Through June 8 -
