SUMMARY:Artist Talk: Seeing Double
DESCRIPTION:Join the Georgetown Art Center in welcoming artists Denise Elliott Jones and Debbie Carroll for an in-depth discussion about their Seeing Double exhibit. This is a free event taking place during normal business hours and is open to all ages. \n“Seeing Double—Two Views of Texas\, presents a unique vision of Texas by Debbie Carroll and Denise Elliott Jones. Works will focus on the seven regions of Texas: Big Bend\, Gulf Coast\, Hill Country\, Panhandle\, Piney Woods\, Prairies and Lakes\, and South Texas Plains. Each artist will use her unique style to capture the feel and spirit of each region. Basing their work on the same locations\, their different viewpoints and styles will express two different visions of the same region. Taken together\, the whole exhibition will bring the viewer a deeper picture of what Texas has to offer.”

SUMMARY:Exhibition Opening: Poetics of the Mundane
DESCRIPTION:Archway Gallery presents Poetics of the Mundane\, featuring new paintings and collages by Silvia PintoSouza and ceramic works and sculptures by guest artist Jeff Forster\, on view May 2–June 4\, 2026. Join the opening reception Saturday\, May 2\, from 5 to 8 p.m.\, with artist talk at 6:30 p.m. \nArchway Gallery artist\, Silvia PintoSouza\, and Department Head of Ceramics at The Glassell School of Art\, Jeff Forster\, are focusing their dual exhibit on the transitory nature of life and the scenes and objects that fire their imagination\, capturing both a sense of permanence and transition through their artistic media. \nThis compelling dual exhibition explores the fleeting nature of everyday life\, transforming ordinary objects and overlooked materials into works that balance permanence and change. PintoSouza elevates familiar subjects through layered\, translucent acrylics\, simplifying form and color to create luminous\, abstract compositions rich with depth and nuance. Working in intimate formats\, she brings precision and quiet intensity to each piece. \nForster reimagines discarded materials—drawing from agricultural and industrial remnants—to create sculptural forms that highlight texture\, process\, and reinvention. His environmentally conscious approach reveals beauty in what is often ignored\, offering a powerful reflection on memory\, transformation\, and the poetry found in the everyday.

SUMMARY:Opening Reception: LAMP group exhibition
DESCRIPTION:LAMP is a group exhibition rooted in practices of accumulation and adornment. Primarily sculptural\, the works span ceramic\, papier-mâché\, textiles\, and found objects—materials that carry the marks of touch\, use\, and return. The exhibition draws inspiration from the fantastical potential of a bookshelf alcove crowded with knickknacks\, and from the push and pull of a warm light bulb: how it reveals the texture of its shade while allowing everything beyond its beam to slip into shadow. LAMP lingers in this tension—between illumination and obscurity\, excess and intimacy—asking what it means to look again at what we already have. At its core\, LAMP is about making a home. Home here is not fixed\, but a space of continual return. Each return brings something new: an object\, a gesture\, a layer. Through acts of adornment\, familiar things are re-seen and re-translated. Function is rendered implicit; materiality\, charm\, and care emerges energetically. Participating artists include Caroline Perkison\, Emma Rossoff\, Gabrielle Constantine\, Jamie Lerman\, Julia Kunze\, and Magdalena Jarkowiec.

SUMMARY:Opening Reception: PHANTOM LIMB
DESCRIPTION:Harman-Parrish Atelier is proud to present Phantom Limb\, an exhibition of sculpture and works on paper by Dallas artists Tabatha Trolli and Xxavier Edward Carter. On view from April 9\, 2026 through April 23\, 2026\, the exhibition brings together two dynamic bodies of expressive work united by a shared inquiry into the human body and the natural world. \nThe exhibition’s title and works evoke a simultaneous familiarity and distance—to the body\, to nature\, to form—expressed through material\, color\, and abstraction. Cycles of loss\, gain\, estrangement\, intimacy\, manufacture\, and regeneration converge in these works\, inviting viewers into a space where the physical and the phantom are held in careful tension.

SUMMARY:Opening Reception: Signal And Response
DESCRIPTION:RULE Gallery presents: Signal and Return\, two concurrent solo exhibitions featuring paintings by Joe Clower (1937–2024) and Polaroid works by the artist collaborative El Disco. Installed in adjacent galleries\, the exhibition explores the image as both instrument and event—simultaneously a signal transmitted outward and an encounter received in return. \nJoe Clower’s independent studio practice developed a visual language shaped by speculative architecture and idiosyncratic narrative. Working in watercolor and gouache\, Clower constructed scenes in which forms hover between assembly and invention. Drawing from classical scientific mechanisms\, comic-book imagery\, and a distinctly Western horizon\, his paintings compile improbable architectures and symbolic objects into systems of relation. Coils spiral around antennae\, forms extend atop plinths\, and structures appear poised as if awaiting transmission—suggesting environments where tension\, speculation\, and narrative coexist without assumed interpretation. \nIn parallel\, the exhibition presents a focused selection of Polaroids from El Disco’s expansive archive\, produced throughout the 1980s and 1990s. Inspired by observed phenomena\, El Disco formed in 1987 as a three-artist collaborative between Joe Clower\, Steve Thomsen\, and Michael Davey (Tennyson Woodbridge). More than documenting unusual objects in the sky\, El Disco’s Polaroids record the invisible tensions between belief\, environment\, and image\, blurring the line between witness and interpretation. The Polaroid process itself\, a chemistry of diffusion\, migration\, and time-released meaning\, echoes the shifting mystery of light and craft across Western horizons. \nTogether\, the two galleries trace an evolving alchemy of meaning and belief\, asking how both continue to reshape evidence long after the initial moment of exposure.

SUMMARY:Opening Reception: Two Faced. Three Faced. Four Faced. Five.
DESCRIPTION:Lydia Art Salon (formerly Lydia Street Gallery) presents “Two Faced. Three Faced. Four Faced. Five.” Billie Clarke\, Samir Faris\, Karim B. Hamid\, Monika Hardy\, William P. \nImmer April 3-May 17\, 2026 \nOpening reception: Thursday\, April 3rd\, 6-9 pm \ntwo faced. three faced. four faced. five.\n“What’s in a name? That which we call a rose\nBy any other word would smell as sweet.\nSo Romeo would\, were he not Romeo called\,\nRetain that dear perfection which he owes\nWithout that title. Romeo\, doff thy name\,\nAnd\, for thy name\, which is no part of thee\,\nTake all myself.” William Shakespeare / Romeo & Juliet\, Act 2\, scene 2 / circa 1595 \nIn the famous Shakespearean play ‘Romeo & Juliet’\, Juliet is not allowed to associate with Romeo because he is a Montague. If he had any other name it would be fine. But\, he doesn’t. She’s complaining that his name is meaningless. If the rose had any other name it would still be the same. So with Romeo; he would still be the same beautiful young man even if he had a different name. So\, as Juliet says: What IS in a name? Why is it so important to have a name? What do we associate with a name? Name’s are commonly known as associators. They are a way in which we\, as humans\, can define someone as other. Therefore\, we can determine a lot through a name. Of course\, we can associate it. But\, we can also control an identity to a certain extent. We can limit. We can arrange our thoughts and actions. We can also restrict ourselves. Why is it so important that we limit ourselves to a single name or identity? What is it about us that we allow ourselves to restrict ourselves to one identity?

SUMMARY:Exhibition Opening\, Nate "Moo" Bishara: I See You
DESCRIPTION:I See You is a solo presentation of instant film photography archiving Southwestern Queer life through a number of events held in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. Following a tradition of queer photojournalism\, Nate Bishara prioritizes the documentation of folks whose queerness intersects with other marginalized identities. \nNate “Moo” Bishara is a queer interdisciplinary documentarian based out of Dallas\, TX. While attending the University of North Texas\, he founded Over Magazine\, a publication that platformed over 400 unique artists of varying mediums in two full magazines. Over Magazine hosted countless events\, exhibitions\, workshops\, and collaborations with local creatives. After a break in 2020\, Bishara started a photography artist residency at The TX Studios where he started his solo publishing project\, YEARBOOK. YEARBOOK documented the stories\, lives\, and struggles of LGBTQIA+ identifying folks in relation to community specific topics through interviews\, photographs\, and collaboration. The culmination of his work during the residency led to the official publication of YEARBOOK as well as managing The TX Studios on the weekends. Bishara turned to instant film in 2022\, documenting the LGBTQIA+ nightlife scene in Dallas-Fort Worth. Three years of documenting led to a permanent installation of almost 400 instax prints at The Dallas Eagle and the start of the sequel to YEARBOOK. Bishara’s professional appointments include event planning and organization of over 200 events\, documenting and publishing zines by local organizations like COLORWAAVE\, and starting Sapphic & Queer\, an event that caters to overlooked and underrepresented groups of the LGBTQIA+\, alongside his colleagues. His current practice focuses on small and large scale publishing\, event production\, instant film\, portrait photography\, and event photography.
