Percy Jackson Party
Finally, an event for all the normies who didn’t qualify for Camp Half-Blood. The library at Windsor Park is offering a tween dream with this celebration of all things Riordan. Party like an Olympian, with almost none of the danger. Partake in a taste of demigod life with lightning toss, river crossings with Charon, and a message station directly to Tartarus. (But don’t worry, Kronos is strictly not invited to the party.) Finish up by crafting your own camp bracelet memento. You might not be immortal, but the memories of this awesome party will be. – Cat McCarreyTue., June 4 -

Sam Dimov (album release)
Trombonist Sam Dimov originally hails from Philadelphia, earning a music degree from Temple University and performing everything from jazz to funk to bluegrass (!) in Pennsylvania and environs. He came to Austin to get his master’s degree and integrated himself into the local scene from there. Now he celebrates the release of his debut album, All Day Affair, at Parker – a fitting venue for the traditionalist bop found on the record. If you like your jazz to be a swingin’ affair, whether it’s all day or not, Dimov and his band will definitely conjure up smoky clubs and glittering city nights. – Michael TolandTue., June 4, 7:30pm

Abundant Masculinities: Turning Toward
“What happens when we turn toward our pain?” Over four Tuesdays and together with other men and trans masculine folks, this community-building series tackles the question of patriarchy – how it benefits men, harms them, and how we might find a way to practice mindful masculinity. Abundant Masculinities founder Kanoa Arteaga leads the four-week class in group activities, journaling, art-making, and more, with over eight years of experience in masculinities work. Tickets run on a sliding scale of $5-30, but one ticket covers all four sessions. – James ScottTuesdays in June -

Community Hours at Thinkery
Children’s growing minds and bodies are always looking for something to do, and it’s costly keeping them occupied. So bring them to Thinkery children’s museum, which “strives to be an inclusive, friendly, inspiring space to learn for our entire community, regardless of income, mental/physical abilities, ethnicity, nationality, race, sexual orientation, gender expression/identity or family status.” From 3 to 7pm Tuesdays, kiddos can visit all the STEAM activities and exhibits like Train Town, the Spark Shop, the Story Nook, and the Move! Studio to have tons of fun while learning and wearing themselves out before bedtime. And it’s all free! Just don’t let them start looking at the not-free items at Toy Joy. – Kat McNevinsTuesdays, 3-7pm -

Deanna Miesch: “Flatland Revisited”
Art and … math? Not as improbable as it may seem, especially when seen through the veil of fantasy. And that’s exactly what artist/gallerist/therapist Deanna Miesch does. Compiling works inspired by 1800s mathematician Edwin A. Abbott’s imaginary world of Flatland (with touches of fellow mathematician Lewis Carroll’s Wonderland, of course), Miesch presents reality with a fanciful twist. Her visuals show our world, blurred or tilted a little askew. It’s easy to see portals to another world in every line and angle. What dimensions will you discover? – Cat McCarreyMay 31-Aug. 11 -

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 ScottTuesdays -
