Claiming to be “the new night out,” Lets Art Party offers a new take on an old theme. The interactive art studio, operated by Leacy and Buster of the well-known Dave & Buster’s, combines art instruction with a BYOB setting, and purports to be “the ultimate painting party.” Yet for this attendee, the Plano location’s December 1, 2011, two-hour, Fall Cherry Tree class was heavy on art, but light on party.

I have discovered recently that the Dallas Museum of Art online gift shop (www.shopDMA.org) is selling Lomo cameras, especially the Diana F+ camera. Lomo, short for lomography, cameras are usually cheap, plastic cameras that use either 35mm or 120 roll film. This includes Holga cameras, which are what I use, but are not being sold at the DMA.
Concrete Improvisations: Collages and Sculpture by Esteban Vicente at the Meadows Museum is an impressive and comprehensive (80 works dating from the last half of the 20th century) show dedicated to the collage and sculpture work of Abstract Expressionist-era powerhouse Esteban Vicente.
If you are planning to addend the Dallas Museum of Art free summer concert, then take a few words of advice form a seasoned attendee.
