The Shed Show started as a passion project for curator Jillian Wendel when she was an art student at the University of North Texas. In August 2024, she transformed her backyard shed in Denton into a miniature gallery, hosting pop-up art exhibitions showcasing local artists. The rotational space is a testament to “tiny but mighty.” Passion meets purpose at The Shed Show, proving good art doesn’t have to hang on the walls of the Dallas Contemporary.

Dallas Art Book Fair, hosted by Dallas Contemporary, is an annual appointment. The all-day events include dozens of independent publications, local art organizations, plus food and drink vendors. In 2024, Alissa Bennett’s Taxidermist’s Handbook was the highlight of our haul, especially because there would be no other place to find a book like it in Dallas. In 2025, it was a stack from Brandon Kennedy’s 00ps B00ks collection of Dave Hickey books.

Not every salon can turn brunettes blond without frying their hair. Glow Salon stands out for just that. Owned by senior stylist Rosalinda Perez, this Oak Cliff salon has earned a six-year reputation for making blond dreams come true, especially for Latinas. The casual, contemporary salon draws a loyal clientele, thanks to stylists like Perez and Joselyn Quintana, who prioritize hair integrity through honest consultations, reasonable expectations, approachable pricing and realistic maintenance plans—the result: dreamy, dimensional locks with no brassiness in sight.
