Inertia Don’t Play Here

The state of the arts in North Texas is so dynamic, so fresh and so very exciting these days that you almost feel like you should be sporting a beret and practicing finger snaps. There’s sculpture strewn about town and Big Happenings almost every weekend in our so-not-quaint arts district. The music scene has moved past the great cover-band phase of the late aughts and wow ... the calendar overflows with artsy to-dos. Dallas’ artistic zeitgeist is the topic of a discussion hosted by the Dallas Museum of Art, 1717 N Harwood St., at 7:30 p.m. Thursday. Join KERA’s Jeff Whittington for State of the Arts as he leads rising talents — including singer/songwriter Sarah Jaffe, choreographer Bruce Woods and actor Steven Walters — through a discussion about their creative process and the exciting artistic innovations currently brewing in the area. Admission to the event is $5. Visit dma.org.
