There’s a group in town that’s busy toppling the existing gallery regime. ArtLoveMagic has proven repeatedly that this city is both unified and beautified by a collaborative web of artists whose talents run a gamut of media. Twice a year we see that network surface for a massive public exhibition,…

While it’s true that we need dogs to feel complete, there are also times when they need us — like when they’re trying to get into a bar, without ID. This Saturday you can pay back your hound for all of his tireless dedication by taking him out for a…

It’s been two years since word spread through Dallas that one of the city’s brightest, most beloved musicians, Frankie Campagna, had committed suicide. Then, doubling the pain’s weight we saw his Spector 45 bandmate, bassist Adam Carter, follow suit only three months later. It made public a union that’s existed…

Every small town has one: an unassuming neighborhood house that transforms into a haunted attraction at Halloween. Some are low-budget, with only a walk-through carport of oddities. Others are impassioned spectacles that took years of labor to create. As a child you never bothered to know who lived there, why…

An interesting thing happened last night: Someone broke into the Kunsthal Rotterdam and raided the place, reportedly taking Pablo Picasso’s ‘Harlequin Head’, ‘Reading Girl In White and Yellow’ by Henri Matisse, ‘Waterloo Bridge, London’ and ‘Charing Cross Bridge, London’ by Claude Monet, as well as ‘Woman with Eyes Closed’ by…

In the artistic think tank of ArtLoveMagic’s headquarters, exciting news has arrived. After five years of organizing and presenting educational events in Dallas, the group has finally received its National Not-For-Profit status. It’s a game-changer for the volunteer-operated artist network, which puts on its annual production Girl Show this Saturday…

“Shop local” also applies to B-horror flicks, so pop into the DOA Bloodbath Film Festival on Saturday for Dallas’ newest take on the undead, Pot Zombies II. When it wins an Oscar, you can say you caught it at the premiere. Whether your weekend plans include burnt orange body shots,…

The Dallas Film Society has announced that it will present Val Kilmer, who played Chris Knight in Real Genius, with a Dallas Star Award during its fall fundraising event, The Art of Film, on November 16. It’s slated as a night of intimate conversation and dinner, so you should ask…

It’s rare to read the words “The dinosaur trail is stroller friendly,” and yet you will find exactly that at Heard Museum’s exhibit of life-sized animatronic dinos. That’s right, Heard is going all Jurassic Park on you and those you love with a walkable, strollerable half-mile nature trail simply littered…

Romero and Russo changed the way we look at horror in their 1968 cult classic, Night Of The Living Dead. They also are responsible for that panicky feeling you get when you cannot immediately find your keys while walking to your car, and your irrational fear of tiny cottages. Sorry,…

There’s pigs’ blood in the Trinity and we’ve most certainly paved over some very important burial sites here in Dallas, so it would make sense for the impending zombie uprising to take root in our alkaline soils. Whether or not the infection is spread by traditional biting or through bong…

Saturday is a big night for CADD galleries, with loads of openings happening around town. Over in the Design District, you’ll want to get emotionally stoic and aesthetically stripped down with TEXAS-BAUHAUS, a new exhibition by Photographs Do Not Bend. It pairs three female North Texas photographers’ work with several…

The room containing Rothko’s Seagram collection is considered an immersion experience. Nine paintings line the walls of the secluded viewing area inside the Tate Modern, making up the first series where the artist’s goal was to surround and intimidate the viewer. Originally these paintings had been commissioned by the Four…

When Nicole Stewart sparked up Oral Fixation earlier this year, we became instantly addicted. Here’s how it works: Each month’s program is loosely based around a theme or concept, then local storytellers craft drag-you-in accounts of their real-life situations related to the topic. These tales are penned well in advance,…
