Tonight's lineup of comedy-in-the-brewery features Ashley Overton, Denise Oyoung, Patrick Sirois, Andre Ricks, and Deejay Vasquez – hosted by Tai Nguyen.
Travis County Judge Sarah Eckhardt is currently accepting applications for a visiting justice of the peace to hear class C misdemeanor cases and more. Those selected – a legal background is required – will be part of a roster available to serve when a sitting Travis County judge is away.
Founding members of the Austin-based Black Mountain Project – Adrian Aguilera, Betelhem Makonnen, and Tammie Rubin – debut a new body of work in sculpture, photography, text, and video. Also on display at the Carver: "Re-Membering Is the Responsibility of the Living," an installation by Taja Lindley.
You know how Central Market likes to do those occasional festivals, where they feature a culinary region from somewhere around this big ol' planet of ours, decking out their already excellent store with new products and free samples and so on, right? Well, for this fest they're featuring tasty delights from our own Lone Star state. We mean, fine comestibles from the likes of Picnik, Teo Gelato, Rowdy Rooster Salsa, Delysia Chocolatier, Roam Ranch Bison, SoCo Ginger Beer, and a whole lot more – at both Central Market locations. (And – bonus – they've got some Texas-themed classes at their upstairs Cooking School on North Lamar as well. Because who doesn't want to, for instance, learn how to butcher a boar with Jesse Griffiths?)
This show at Co-Lab's current space in Springdale General features the collaborative work of Alexis Mabry and Steef Crombach, here exploring the “do it yourself” practice of traditional women’s crafts and techniques, warping the existing perceptions of soft sculpture, found fabric, and the timeworn gambits of quilt and tapestry.
This solo exhibit featuring new work by Philip Durst might resemble the quilts of your childhood, but the artist's vibrant use of multicolored candy wrappers and cardboard soda boxes aren't conducive to a good night's sleep. In fact, we tried Googling "collage + stunning" a few times, and it was Dursts all the way down, radiating patterns of playfulness and optimism.
This new show of beautiful sculptural works by Laura Latimer is informed and inspired by the way an organism physically modifies an environment or moves to another habitat that better suits its needs. (Kind of like the way Dimension's outdoor Sculpture Park moved across the street, y'might say, and you could experience that before or after viewing this fine exhibition.)
Comedian Ben Schwartz (Parks and Recreation) is emceeing this very Jean Ralphio, on-brand fashion show where local influencers – aka those folks on Insta trying to "influence" you to buy the latest, greatest thingamajig – will model "exaggerated, over-the-top" Dos Equis-branded clothing, like a $250 towel jacket. "Because it’s not just a towel jacket, it’s a lifestyle."
There are new wineries, breweries, and distilleries popping up all over the Hill Country and it can be tough to keep up-to-date on the newest destinations. Not to mention that the cost of visiting all those places can really add up, right? So here's the spirited folks of Dripping Springs and Driftwood with a special Passport to help you discover all of the booze-y destinations without burning too big a hole in your pocket, get you into tastings everywhere, make for a fine trail of untoppable tippling throughout the month of May. (Call us biased if you must, but that Treaty Oak Distillery is at the top of our Always & Forever list.)
Heidi Pitre's ink drawings on vintage library cards merge art and literature, nostalgia and history, and recycling and reusing. And here's our review of the show.
