    Jane Austin Improv, a playful nod to both Jane Austen and Austin, TX, channels the spirit of Jane Austen into a comedy feast! Starting with a single audience suggestion, the cast devises a full-length play on the spot, creating something Jane Austen may have written. Step into a world where the elegance of Regency-era England collides with improv comedy and laugh along as the actors navigate their costumes, horseback riding, complexities of courtship, and the rigid social hierarchy of the early 1800s. 512-217-7334

    Passover Storytime with Rabbi Gail

    Tue., March 24

    BookPeople

    603 N. Lamar, Austin Downtown

    ,

    Quick review of Passover for those who skipped watching The Ten Commandments or The Prince of Egypt as kids: The name comes from when the Jewish slaves in Egypt were “passed over” during a plague killing the eldest sons of each household. There’s more to the holiday, of course, and that’s where local leader Rabbi Gail Swedroe steps in to fill in any post-Ancient Egypt information for the general public. Take your children to BookPeople and learn about the blending of ancient tradition and modern ritual. It promises to be culture-expanding and delightful at the same time! – Cat McCarrey… 512/472-5050

    Printmaking Workshop Inspired by the Work of Ruhee Maknojia

    Tue., March 24

    Terrazas Branch Library

    1105 E. Cesar Chavez, Austin Lower East

    ,

    As part of their Women’s History Month programming, Austin Public Library partners with gallery Women & Their Work for a lesson based around Houston’s own Ruhee Maknojia. An animator, painter, and installation artist, Maknojia’s own bio describes her practice as examining “how literature, philosophy, history, and legal systems undergo fragmentation when transferred across new frameworks.” To exemplify this, APL and WTW offer a workshop on relief printmaking. Attendees will carve from a linoleum block an image with raised areas that’ll pick up ink. Once inked, the image can be stamped on fabric or paper to create a unique print piece… 512/974-3625

    Richie Shazam: “I WAS NEVER MEANT TO SURVIVE THIS”

    Through April 19

    McLennon Pen Co. Gallery

    1114 W 5th St, Suite 202, Austin Downtown

    McLennon brings ATX another taste of bicoastal culture in Richie Shazam’s first solo exhibition in Austin. Shazam is a multihyphenate model, photographer, BFF of Julia Fox, and general NYC “it” girl (evidence: canonically featured in Charli xcx’s music video for “360” at the It Girl Summit). After publishing Shazam, a 2023 book of self-portraits, the iconoclast turns inward to explore trauma and transmute it. In this show comprising seven tableaux, Shazam shapeshifts “like a modern La Castiglione,” reads the exhibition text. “By situating each scene within a different room of the home, Richie completes what is often a final step… 512/240-2273

    Bradley Kerl: “Point of Light”

    Through April 4

    Ivester Contemporary

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

    Bradley Kerl is an Ivester resident, reliably churning out colorful meditations on the natural world and the self – Man vs. Self as Joseph Campbell would say – but in this third solo exhibition with the gallery, Kerl presents something more slippery. Not as many iPhone photo self shadows this time. Instead, these oil paintings of various memories in nature are more reflective of time, memory, and movement. Better seen in person, Kerl’s work has a way of tugging the heartstrings. That’s what sticking to the little world does – in the right hands, the personal becomes universal. – Lina…

    American Modernism From the Charles Butt Collection: From Edward Hopper to Alma Thomas

    Through August 2

    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

    “Run the Code: Data-Driven Art Decoded”

    Interested in how contemporary artists are using algorithms and artificial intelligence to create original and interesting artworks? 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. The exhibit explores the question of “What does it mean to create art in a world shaped by data?” and how algorithms can create interactive pieces of art. Blanton members can see an exclusive preview on March 7. – Valeria Cruz Butrón 512/471-5482

    Mondays-Saturdays, 10 a.m. Continues through May 9

    Dougherty Arts Center

    1110 Barton Springs Rd., Austin South Congress and South First

    Connective Tissue is an exhibition that explores the unseen threads that bind us to one another and to ourselves. Through layered paintings and drawings, this body of work examines themes of identity, relationships, and the emotional landscapes we navigate daily. The abstracted forms—fragmented faces, reaching hands, and overlapping bodies—become metaphors for the complex and often fragile connections that hold us together. The show invites viewers to reflect on these invisible bonds, offering a moment of introspection into how we connect, disconnect, and seek understanding. 512-974-4000

    Sandra C. Fernandez: “Enduring Presence”

    Through April 18

    Flatbed Press

    3701 Drossett #190, Austin South

    Absence can tell as much of a story as presence. This is evidenced by artist Sandra C. Fernandez’s newest exhibition with contemporary printmaking center Flatbed. Through multiple methods – monotype, lithography, and sewing – Fernandez constructs garments absent of a woman’s “direct image” but entirely influenced by migrant women’s experiences. The pieces, the artist writes, “honor survival not as a fixed outcome, but as an ongoing way of being.” A portion of the show’s sales will go to Casa Marianella, an Austin-based shelter for displaced immigrants and asylum seekers. – James Scott 512/477-9328

Meet other folks who’ve dug into the story of a young nobleman who wakes up one day to find himself a young noblewoman and discuss its various astounding avenues in Austin Public Library’s weirdest book club.
