  Free Day

  Art! Oh, I love it. But sadly, when I open my pockets, moths fly out. Good news for me and all my broke friends: Every Tuesday, the Blanton opens its doors to all visitors free of charge. Why, unburdened by the weight of an empty wallet, Austinites can mull the strange world of contemporary womanhood in “Unbreakable: Feminist Visions from the Gilberto Cárdenas and Dolores Garcia Collection.” Or walk beneath the silver and mesh sculptures of Marie Watt’s “Sky Dances Light.” Or explore the past through its artistic pieces in “The Floating World: Masterpieces of Edo Japan.” Or enjoy any of the many, MANY other exhibitions available on this day: all for free. – James Scott

  Indonesian Angklung and Dance Performance

  Ah: the angklung! This Sundanese percussion instrument is formed by carving multiple bamboo tubes, which, after being attached to a frame, produce a particular pitch when struck. Each instrument is carved for one specific pitch, so often players form angklung ensembles in order to play multiple pitches. As AANHPI Heritage Month comes to a close, Indonesian cultural society Rumah Budaya Indonesia di Austin brings the instrument to the library where not only will you be able to enjoy the music that once honored rice goddess Dewi Sri but also take in traditional dance. – James Scott

  Kula Yoga Center

  Calling itself "Austin's Family Yoga Center" isn't a misnomer, what with its infant/parent classes and other kid-friendly courses. Also check out the special classes for dancers, athletes, and even students (for PE credit, no less).
