| Stand By Your Man: A Tribute to Bonnie & Clyde Open Location | Fri., December 5, 6:00pm-10:00pm | Downtown & Deep Ellum | |
The calendar should be filling up just about now with all of your holiday dinners, parties, gift wrapping, shopping and volunteering. Leave room, though, for the three-day Dallas Indie Experience--a shopping event which should make even the squarest of squares find their inner hipster. Besides,... More >> |

| Laura Elia Showcase Rising Gallery | Thu., December 4, 6:00pm-9:00pm | Park Cities | |
Sure you can downward-dog and cobra and tree. You can meditate and balance your chi. You may have even dabbled in Tibetan Buddhism--I could throw a stick and hit a Dallasite who took a weekend's worth of interest in the religion and it's discipline when it came into "vogue." But how many times... More >> |

| Lily Hanson Exhibit And/Or Gallery |
Every week Wednesday from Wed., November 5 until Sat., December 6, 5:00pm-8:00pm more dates/times |
East Dallas & Lakewood | |
A lot of us have a complex relationship with fashion. Sometimes we find an item of clothing that makes us feel good, and BAM, we're in love. But sometimes nothing fits, and we'd rather just walk around naked than deal with the whole thing. And yet, compared to the way local artist Lily Hanson... More >> |

| Vicious Pink Centraltrak | Every week Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Wed., December 3 until Tue., January 20, 12:00pm-5:00pm | Fair Park | |
The color pink gets a bad rap. First it was the girliest of all the hues, a symbol of the birth of a baby girl and the color of choice for little girls' frilly party dresses. And then, as if that wasn't enough humiliation, frat boys went and adopted it as their favorite shade for popped... More >> |

| Then & Now, Small Works and Africa Conduit Gallery | Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday from Sat., November 22 until Wed., December 24 | Downtown & Deep Ellum | |
As the days get shorter and the cold fronts arrive with greater frequency, we often find ourselves longing for a trip south. We could play it safe and head for the beach, or--if we truly had our druthers--we could chase adventure on Mexico's legendary Chihuahua-Pacific Railroad (Ferrocarril... More >> |

| Joseph Havel: Two Sheets (to the wind) Dallas Center for Contemporary Art | Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday from Thu., September 4 until Wed., December 24, 10:00am-5:00pm | East Dallas & Lakewood | |
As any fan of Project Runway knows, much has been said over the blending of fabric and art in the name of fashion. But what about blending fabric and art in the name of art? Artist Joseph Havel does just that in his exhibition of sculptural constructions based on the drapery and other technical... More >> |

| Grotto DECORAZON gallery | Every week Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Sat., November 29 until Wed., December 31 | Oak Cliff & South Dallas | |
Merriam-Webster's Web site defines "grotto" as "1. Cave, 2. Artificial recess or structure made to resemble a natural cave." In visual artist Adam Morey's exhibition Grotto, he employs the use of light and its penetration of transparencies, its movement around opacities and other elements to... More >> |

| Is it the real turtle soup? Holly Johnson Gallery | Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday from Sat., November 22 until Wed., December 24 | Downtown & Deep Ellum | |
"Is it good turtle soup or merely the mock?" That's a line from Cole Porter's "At Long Last Love," written in 1938. Well to be sure, I had to research what the hell is actually involved in turtle soup. According to my Google search, my instincts were correct, and it's exactly what it implies.... More >> |

| 17th Annual La Virgen de Guadalupe Art Exhibition Ice House Cultural Center | Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday from Fri., December 5 until Fri., January 2 | Oak Cliff & South Dallas | |
For 17 years, Dallas artists have been honoring the the Virgen de Guadalupe, also known as the patron saint of Mexico, with drawings, paintings, photography and sculptures in her likeness. Considering her image has also been seen in tree trunks, toast and a variety of drips and stains, we're... More >> |

| Denise Fleming: Painting With Paper Irving Arts Center | Daily from Sat., October 11 until Sun., December 28 | Irving & Las Colinas | |
The 1998 film Can't Hardly Wait is like Kevin Bacon: Everything in the universe can be connected to it in six degrees or less. For example, three of the film's leading actors went on to star on Six Feet Under together. And you know the Judd Apatow flick Forgetting Sarah Marshall? The film's... More >> |

| eNeRGy Kettle Art | Every week Thursday, Friday, Saturday from Fri., November 21 until Sat., December 6, 7:00pm-10:00pm | West Dallas | |
Though Frank Campagna's Kettle Art Gallery has only been open for three years, it's already hard to imagine Deep Ellum without it. Part of that reason is because Campagna himself has long been a staple of the Dallas art and music scenes. He started back in the late '70s designing flyers and... More >> |
|||
| Brian Gibb: All That Glitters Isn't Gold The Magnolia Theatre | Daily from Fri., October 17 until Wed., December 3 | East Dallas & Lakewood | |
Brian Gibb is a dangerous man. He can make you want things. He can make you buy things. And he doesn't even have to be in the room. His eye for talent brings some seriously amazing shows to his gallery, The Public Trust. But more important, his own art is...well...addictive. I have a... More >> |

Alex Rubio's |
Every week Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday from Sat., November 1 until Sat., December 13, 11:00am-9:00pm | Uptown & Oak Lawn | |
In this time of hotly contested elections, Wall Street collapses and High School Musical 3, it often feels as if the end times might be upon us. No wonder then that artist Alex Rubio dabbles in the apocalyptic, taking inspiration from Revelations, Aztec mythology, Nostradamus and Hollywood.... More >> |

| Street Level Norwood Flynn Gallery | Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday from Sat., November 22 until Sun., January 25 | Park Cities | |
Landscape or cityscape art frequently falls into the trap of being a little too postcard friendly. I can admit to seeing more than one gallery show where renderings that are supposed to be "haunting depictions of the ravages of industry on our landscapes" are little more than benign... More >> |
|||
| Bill Owens' New Suburbia Photographs Do Not Bend Gallery | Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday from Tue., December 2 until Sat., January 3, 11:00am-6:00pm | Downtown & Deep Ellum | |
Back in the 1970s it was all black and white, wasn't it? Everyone was listening to ELO and Supertramp, eating fast food only on special occasions and watching Sleestaks on Land of the Lost. And Bill Owens was literally shooting the black and white of it all for his photographic series and book... More >> |

| Super Market: An Exhibition of New Work by Brent Ozaeta The Public Trust (formerly Art Prostitute Gallery) | Every week Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday from Fri., October 24 until Sat., December 6 | ||
The first thing that strikes me about the artist behind Super Market is that he was born in 1985. In 1985, I was angling for a Spuds McKenzie T-shirt for Christmas and obsessing over Depeche Mode. Brent Ozaeta, however, was being born. This piece of knowledge has the effect of a) making me feel... More >> |

| Dan Perfect: Drawings & Paintings Road Agent | Every week Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday from Fri., November 21 until Sat., December 6, 12:00pm-5:00pm | West Dallas | |
London-based artist Dan Perfect's paintings are collages of sorts. Not of their media, but their aura. Ambiguous forms and referential icons are scattered across his canvases, and the result is not disjointed or trivial, but rich and striking. With imagery that echoes Miro and Picasso as much...

| Kate Gilmore: Girl Fight University of North Texas Art Gallery | Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday from Tue., November 11 until Sat., December 13 | Denton | |
New York artist Kate Gilmore's Girl Fight isn't about ripping someone's weave out or clawing runs into someone's clothing and/or face. It's more like a commentary via video installation on the sometimes laughable struggle within one's self and with society when it comes to just being a girl.... More >> |
|||
| Social/Scene University of Texas at Dallas | Every week Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday from Fri., October 31 until Sat., December 13, 9:00am-10:00pm | Richardson & Vicinity | |
Anyone who knows anything about this country of ours knows that it's a fusion of different cultures, locations, ideals and lifestyles. It's obvious, even deep in the heart of Texas, as ethnic neighborhoods bump up next to each other and spill over freely, and it's visible in the hodgepodge of... More >> |
