Today in the Art&Seek Spotlight, we celebrate 15 years of the McKinney Avenue Contemporary.

This week, the 2009 Guitar Guild Music Festival takes over the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth. Mitch Weverka, one of the Fort Worth Guitar Guild's founders, talks about the festival and what it's like to be a classical guitarist in a rock guitar nation as part of this week's Art&Seek Q&A.

If you think this week's winning photo is interesting, wait 'til you meet its creator.

If you could hear a painting, what would it sound like? The Dallas Museum of Art and UT Dallas have created a new interactive program to answer that question.

Philip Haas' new exhibition at the Kimbell Art Museum — Butchers, Dragons, Gods & Skeletons — is a jaw-dropper and an eye-dazzler. Five period paintings — from a Chinese scroll and a Baroque ceiling to James Ensor's macabre skeletons — become three-dimensional and hi-def digital. This is cinema and theater, painting and puppetry. All this, and the exhibition is free. Jerome Weeks reviews — with video clips.

Novelist and travel writer Paul Theroux pretty much re-invented travel writing in the '70s with his acclaimed books, The Great Railway Bazaar and The Old Patagonian Express. For his latest, Ghost Train to the Eastern Star, he re-traced the trip across Europe and Asia that he took 35 years ago for the Railway Bazaar. Theroux will deliver the keynote address Friday at the Mayborn Literary Nonfiction Conference. THINK guest host Jerome Weeks talks to Theroux about travel food, high-speed trains in Texas and going the wrong way through Europe.

Today in the Saturday Spotlight, we’re checking out the local music scene.

David Rabe has been one of our most significant contemporary playwrights — from his Vietnam-era dramas (Streamers) to his scalding Hollywood satire (Hurlyburly). The Undermain Theatre has produced two of his more unusual plays, Goose and Tomtom and more recently, The Black Monk. With his latest novel coming out in paperback, and The Black Monk set to return in September, THINK guest host Jerome Weeks talks to Rabe about dogs, Joe Papp and adapting Anton Chekhov.

Gail Nogle is the featured speaker for the Thornton Foundation's 19th Annual Guest Lecturer Series on Saturday at the Dallas Museum of Art. She will draw on decades of experience to inspire young and hungry photography students, but you can meet her here first in this week's Art&Seek Q&A.

Congratulations to Sarah Philipson of Dallas, the winner of the Flickr Photo of the Week contest!
