Nasher Displays Designs of Foster + Partners

The Nasher's show of architectural models from Foster + Partners, designers of the Winspear, may be a sideshow for the Big Event in the Arts District next month. But it's a dandy sideshow: elaborate scale models of influential buildings (for the toy-train-hobbyist in us all), plus some real context for our new, Giant Red Operatic Panic Button.

Dallas artist David McCullough discusses his hopes for his future creative home as part of this week’s Art&Seek Q&A:

This Week in Texas Music History: Blind Lemon Jefferson

Free Night of Theater Returns!

Last fall, Dallas theaters took part in the national Free Night of Theater program for the first time. All the tickets were gone in a single day. What's more, the plan worked: Many people who got free tickets bought their own theater tickets later on. So we're happy to bring you the Free Night of Theater: The Sequel.

Talking Head: Goss-Michael Shows Marc Quinn's Work

Groundbreaking British sculptor Marc Quinn comes to Dallas, courtesy of a first-time collaboration between contemporary art collectors, the Goss-Michael Foundation and the Rachofsky Collection. Their show is a quick survey of 15 years of Quinn's work: bloody, frozen, classically reserved and all-too human. Jerome Weeks reports.

The Webb Gallery: The Funky and the Secretive in American Folk Art

With folk art, Julie and Bruce Webb prefer the wild, the oddball and the cast-off. They live above their own gallery in a vintage-1902 building in Waxahachie. The Elks hall, it seems, was just next door. Down the street were the Masons. Which helps explain the guillotine — and the Webb Gallery's latest show. Jerome Weeks reports.
