 |
Semigloss. Magazine Opening Party -- In a city of excess and constant gallery glamor shots, it's strange that their aren't more niche publications focusing on the Metroplex Art Scene. A group of artists/writers noticed that same gap and decided to fill it though a self-published release called Semigloss. Magazine. There are great names populating the masthead (Cassandra Emswiler, Bradley Brown, Arthur Peña, and a half dozen others) and the coverage will bend towards experimental subject matter. The release party happens from 8 to 11 p.m. at Oliver Francis Gallery. It's a limited pressing, so don't miss your chance to buy one.

Wheel of Fortune Auditions in Dallas -- YES. It's finally time to show this world your highly-advanced hangman skills. The Wheelmobile, a rock 'n' roll tour van of opportunity, will be at two different Dallas locations this weekend, prowling for onstage talent. Go make us proud.
Co- Re-Creating Spaces -- From our interior neural transmissions to the exterior world we populate and move through, we're exploring infinite channels and pathways, most of which are our own design. What if we rearranged them? Ripped 'em down. Rebuilt or re-described how they interact with each other and also us? What if we became the experimental architects of our own space? That's the theme of this layered art opening happening at CentralTrak on Saturday night.
City Lights Opening Night -- Main Street gets a magical holiday overhaul on Saturday at City Lights, with outdoor markets and crafts, face painting for the elves among us and musical performances to amp up the jolly ambiance. You'll also see our flagship Neiman Marcus unveil its annual window treatments under the glow of twinkling, glowing downtown.
