Weekend Plans

1. Lots of art happenings going on this weekend: Grand re-opening of the Dallas Contemporary, the Dallas Art Fair, and Art in the District.

2. If art isn't your thing there is the Snuggie Pub Crawl on Saturday in Uptown. $30,000.00 millionaires in snuggies should make for some awesome people watching.

3. If you want less clothes this weekend, head on over to the Dallas Burlesque Festival at the Texas Theater.

4. Or just stay home and watch that football game instead.

Upcoming Events

1. Dallas' answer to Art Basel, the Dallas Art Fair is February 5-7, 2010 at the F.I.G. Galleries from as far away as London will be showing works during the weekend. Additionally, there will a be a satellite art fair - Art in the District at the Fairmont Hotel the same weekend.

4. The White Rock Home Tour will be April 24-25, 2010. Always lots of great MCM homes on this tour. Note: site is not updated yet with new dates. Or head down to Austin for Art City Austin the same weekend. Two of my favorite artists, Stephanie Strange and Michael O'Brien are usually at this show.
