The newly restored Belmont Hotel has quickly become one of the trendiest hangouts in Dallas, drawing in a diverse crowd of Oak Cliff hipsters and well-to-do art aficionados with its stunning bluff-side views of downtown and the Trinity (not to mention the neon signs and street hookers of Fort Worth Avenue). If you still haven't stopped by, do yourself a favor and check out the Mulcahy Modern reception this Wednesday at the hotel, where the Bishop Arts-based gallery will kick off an exhibit featuring pieces by Tom Sime, Heyd Fontenot, Rosalyn Bodycomb, Celia Eberle, Robert Hamilton, Mindy Kober, Nate Cassie, Jin-Ya Huang, Charlie Morris, Victoria Montelongo, Derrick Saunders and the Fleshbeck Crew. So grab a drink, stroll the grounds and enjoy some art and people-watching at the Belmont, 901 Fort Worth Ave. Wednesday's reception runs from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. The show continues through May 22. Call 214-393-2300.
