    2008 Alexander, Austin East

    Sarah Loucks and Amber Wilson present DAD HOLE, a performance piece created by Sarah Loucks, Matt Spain, Ann Marie Dorr, Kat Ellison Williams, and CB Goodman. Matt and Kat are two best buds on a quest. They're trying to fix an engine and fix masculinity all on a Saturday afternoon. Can they do it? DAD HOLE is an absurd comedy that examines the paradox of contemporary masculinity through the perspective of two unlikely heroes. The garage is sweaty. The drinks are cold. The engine is rusty. Pull up a lawn chair and join us. We can't fix masculinity without you. +1 512-222-8380

    AFS Cinema

    6406 N. I-35 Ste. 3100, Austin Midtown

    Big finish! AFS Cinema’s short run of Preston Sturges pictures ends with this wonderfully fizzy screwball, a prime specimen of the “comedy of remarriage” genre (and a personal fave). Boasting a sexual chemistry that defied the era’s movie morality code, Joel McCrea and Claudette Colbert play a married couple headed for splitsville – specifically, via a sleeper train to Florida, where she plans to get a quickie divorce. A lot goes wrong, in all the right ways, and it’s all so divinely silly, you will absolutely feel lighter and brighter afterwards. – Kimberley Jones 512/322-0145

    July 23-29

    Violet Crown Cinema

    434 W. Second, Austin Downtown

    Filmed among the scrubland and deserts around Marathon and Alpine, neo-Western Due West is a true Texas production. Produced by ATX TV Festival creators Emily Gipson & Caitlin McFarland and edited by longtime Richard Linklater collaborator Sandra Adair, it’s also the debut feature from Pampa native and Austin transplant Evan Miller. Front and center is Austin’s own Adrianne Palicki as a woman making tough decisions and heading to the wrong side of the law. But this isn’t about showdowns and shootouts: Instead, Miller and co-writer Hardy Janson bring a contemporary twist to their classic West Texas imagery. Catch this very… 512/495-9600

    AFS Cinema

    6406 N. I-35 Ste. 3100, Austin Midtown

    Everyone should see this Ghibli classic at least once, and preferably many times throughout life, whenever one needs a boost of inspiration and courage. Kids especially should take this opportunity to see it on the big screen, and enjoy full immersion in Hayao Miyazaki’s brilliant & strange world of spirits. Apart from the gorgeous animation of a Japanese bathhouse and the serene landscape surrounding it, 10-year-old Chihiro’s odyssey through the spirit world has yielded so many iconic characters – the soot sprites, the radish spirit, No Face, Yubaba. If you’re not already acquainted with these guys, you’re in for a… 512/322-0145

    Galaxy Highland 10

    6700 Middle Fiskville, N. I-35 & Middle Fiskville, Austin Midtown

    Former Disney animator Don Bluth was able to challenge the House of Mouse’s box office supremacy with his Nineties spate of animated features. Not every title in the lineup remains timeless – A Troll in Central Park, anyone? – but the ones that hit were like the meteor that wiped out a certain saurian population, which is to say they were quite impactful. Whether you watched this emotional feature inspired by Bambi as a dino-obsessed kid or want to expose today’s youth to the plight of long necks, three horns, and sharp tooths, Galaxy’s big ol’ recliners await your nostalgic… 512/467-7305

    KMFA 89.5FM

    41 Navasota St., Austin Lower East

    An admission: Local classical station KMFA 89.5 has fast become my favorite radio preset. So know this comes from an honest place when I recommend the station’s Kids on Key summer series for you and any youths in your orbit. Each presentation (July 14, 28, and August 11) is hosted by Saturday Matinee and KMFA by Request’s Guillermo Delgado and showcases a different selection from Looney Tunes’ Merrie Melodies oeuvre. Iconic tracks from the classical repertoire get a zany boost from Bugs & co., from Liszt in “Rhapsody Rabbit” to Rossini in “Rabbit of Seville.” Delgado adds context to the… 512/476-5632

    Central Library

    710 W. Cesar Chavez, Austin Downtown

    Curation is key to art appreciation, at least when it comes to local org _OFCOLOR’s collaboration with the Austin Public Library and the Library Foundation. Over seven months, emerging curators Cathy Le, Paola Ward, Asami Robledo-Allen Yamamoto, and Corri Greene participated in a curation fellowship program made to uplift the curatorial field and those keeping it alive & well. Their final project is this exhibition displayed in the Downtown library’s second-floor gallery: a collective exploration of “memory, migration, and cultural inheritance” from multi-medium artists Alejandra Almuelle, Lys Santamaria, Sandra Fernandez, Rewon Shimray, Rakhee Jain Desai, Raul Rodriguez, Liza Zaldivar Salazar,… 512/974-7400

    The Blanton Museum of Art

    200 E. MLK, Austin Campus

    Scenes of urban loneliness and pastoral stoicism, colorful snippets of joyous living, and form-defying illustrations of social structures are a few expressive artworks on display in this much-anticipated exhibit – to say nothing of the bright mosaic-inspired paintings of Alma Thomas and the enveloping nature depictions of Georgia O’Keeffe. On the collection’s first public tour, H-E-B heir Charles Butt shares over 80 works by America’s most prominent modernist artists. Enveloping cubism, abstraction, and landscape movements that captured imaginations from the late 19th century through the Seventies, these varied expressions of identity and experience distinguished an era of American art. –… 512/471-5482

Check out Blanton’s “Run the Code" exhibit in collaboration with the Thoma Foundation featuring work from digital artists like Turkish artist Refik Anadol and Spanish artist Daniel Canogar.

    Through Sept. 5

    Ivester Contemporary

    916 Springdale #107, 916 Springdale #107, Austin East

    Adult life has many singular advantages, like deciding your own bedtime, but what doesn’t really exist for most mature individuals is that perfect three-month-ish break mid-year that all schoolgoing youth enjoy. (Exceptions exist for those among us afflicted with permanent grad-school-itis.) But much like an adult can simply choose to konk out at 2am, so too can they give themselves a break from their busy life with a trip to the art gallery. Enjoy a little cultural chill time at Ivester’s new exhibition then. The amuse-bouche of their currently represented and listed artists (like Josias Figueirido, Kalee Appleton, and Anya…

    Everything, for the most part, is bigger in Texas – and that includes the community celebrations. Kicking off this Saturday, April 25, and running until late September is the Bob Bullock Museum’s tribute to the festivals of the Lone Star State. Showcasing 27 Texan fests, the exhibition’s three sections explores these festive affairs through iconic artifacts, a short documentary, and several interactive elements, from make-your-own gown trains to Mad Libs-style festival name making, and even a food truck-themed play area. With summer nipping at our spring heels, here’s a great way to soak in all the festival fun within the… 512/936-4629

    Through Sept. 3

    Women & Their Work

    1311 E. Cesar Chavez, Austin Lower East

    Webster’s Dictionary defines “spirit” as both an animating principle “held to give life to physical organisms” as well as a “supernatural being.” Both definitions get explored in artist larí garcía’s exhibition, itself inspired by their trip to renowned Spiritualist center La Casa de Las Almas (house of the souls). Their research while at the Puerto Rican landmark uncovered a startling lineage of misogyny undercutting what was also “a refuge primarily for members of the working class and women who felt excluded from the Catholic Church.” Through sculpture and installations produced on-site, garcía examines the discrimination underpinning religious spaces and how,… 512/477-1064

Papers features small-scale abstract paper assemblages and collage-derived paintings that explore identity formation, fragmentation and historical revision.

The exhibition will include an opening reception on Saturday, July 11 from 4–6 p.m., an artist talk on Sunday, July 12 at 2 p.m. and a masterclass on Saturday, July 18.
