    “Cuídate (Take Care)”

    Curated by assistant gallery director Savannah Diaz, this will be Ivester’s first-ever open call group show. Works displayed will center on “rituals and self-soothing practices” that recharge us in our cacophonous and connected world.

    Christopher Cascio: “Portals”

    Patterns. Repetition. The compulsory need for the same, over and over, until you’re led somewhere else. In second-time Ivester gallery artist Christopher Cascio’s newest solo exhibition, he explores both the pattern and the escape – a portal within every piece. His paintings combine aerosol and acrylic paint with more textural elements like masking tape, found fabric, and concert wristbands to form various repeating images anchored by centralized portals both obvious and obscure. And so, Cascio’s canvases “[invite] viewers to consider these moments as thresholds, interruptions in the pattern that offer space for reflection, transformation, or escape.” – James Scott

    First Saturdays at Canopy

    The first Saturday of every month from 1-4pm, the 72 artists housed at the Canopy complex on Springdale Road open their studios to the public, allowing an intimate look into Austin’s visual art scene. Ivester Contemporary and ICOSA Gallery are also open, giving people a chance to see work in progress and fully realized gallery shows, as well as buy or commission new artwork. Sa-Ten, which recently expanded its hours from 7am-9pm every day, provides tasty Japanese libations worth their own trip, so grab a yuzu lemonade to sip and wander. – Lina Fisher
