Art isn't just two-dimensional anymore, people. There's more than just paintings and photographs to look at these days. You can also find fine art in places other than galleries and museums. And there's a big group of artists who want to share this concept with the city. Friday night marks the inaugural Aurora event, a festival of interactive art installations showcasing light, sound and video spread throughout the Dallas Heritage Village, 1515 Harwood St. The event, 7 to 10 p.m. Friday, features 41 professional and student artists and kicks off the eighth annual Cedars Open Studios tour from noon to 6 p.m. Saturday. Take in the mixed-media artistic assault on your senses Friday, visit the workspaces of the artists and craftspeople who call the Cedars home, and then enjoy a week-long extension of Aurora with a student exhibition focusing on light through November 28 at the Chatauqua Pavillion in the DHV. If you take it at name-value, this event really is a glorious and beautiful phenomenon. Now, Dallas, let's give it enough attention so it might show up and dazzle us for many more years to come.
