"My work for the past thirty-five years," says the artist Sono Osato, "has been inspired by the confluence of geological and anthropological history, the connection between terrain and symbolic thought." Now her Silent Language #13 is on display in the Window Dressing series at ICOSA. "It's a good point of entry for anyone who is unfamiliar with my work," says Osato – and it's viewable 24/7 within the Canopy courtyard.

"In a dystopian near-future, birds have returned from their recent extinction to carry a teenage boy off into the sky, leaving his father, girlfriend and twin brother searching for answers."

The Swoop Garden is that curated verdant paradise surrounding Swoop House, of course, and on Sunday it'll be host to an excellent service of brunch that features delights from the culinary crew of Sawyer & Co. Beginning with passed hors d'ouevres (while the kiddos enjoy an Easter egg hunt) and continuing with a buffet of garden salad, carved leg of lamb, smoked salmon, toasted focaccio, mini veggie and bacon-and-cheese quiches, hash brown casserole, and an amazing dessert trio to sweeten the finale among all that lovely spring foliage.

The two pieces in "Flotsam and Jetsam" are just that: a castaway – a recreation of John Risley's Three Panel Screen, 1960 – and a newly salvaged version, Imposter Screen, 2022, made sixty years later by the artist's son Jack Risley. This exhibition considers the question of how much an artist recognizes and gives attribution to their sources.

Music, shopping, food, and some of the most amazing sand sculptures on a Texas beach to raise money for local scholarships.

Texas Performing Arts presents this local installation – at the Blue Genie space on Airport, no less – of Robin Frohardt's brilliant and immersive tribute to the vulgar overdoity of plastic waste that humans are subjecting themselves and the rest of our planet to. Listen: "Visit a grocery store where the shelves are stocked with thousands of original, hand-sculpted items — produce and meat, dry goods and toiletries, cakes and sushi rolls — all made from discarded, single-use plastics in an endless cacophony of packaging. When you visit, the store transforms into a cinema for a film in which inventive puppetry, shadow play, and intricate handmade sets tell the darkly comedic, sometimes tender story of how the overabundance of plastic waste we leave behind might be misinterpreted by future generations." Sensationally graphic yet more than just spectacle, this thing's got philosophical teeth as sharp as the fangs we're sinking deep into our own carotid. (Note: Some seatings will be free, via Fusebox Festival.)
