Three large food courts sponsored by Hill Building Group and Moncrief Cancer Institute | UT Southwestern will showcase locally owned and operated food businesses.
Lost ‘N Sound will also take place on Saturday, October 19 from noon to midnight as an indoor music festival in the Near Southside’s South Main Village district.

Due to the exciting campus reconstruction and expansion underway at JPS hospital, this year’s ArtsGoggle will shorten the festival footprint along Magnolia Avenue stretching from 8th Avenue to St. Louis Avenue, three blocks shorter than previous years to make way for construction needs.

MASS: Small works - Modern Eden - San Francisco
2023-11-11 18:00 - 23:00 | Modern Eden Gallery, 1100 Sutter St., San Francisco, CA, 94109, United States
Exhibition Dates: November 11–December 1, 2023
Opening Reception: Saturday November 11, 6-9 pm

In a world where size is often equated with significance, we challenge that notion, inviting artists to explore the paradox of creating small works that command a massive presence. MASS is about the profound power and impact that can be conveyed in a few square inches, and the way an art piece, no matter how small, can fill a room with its essence. We call on artists to tap into their ability to evoke grand ideas and prove that art’s influence isn’t bound by its physical size, but by the magnitude of its spirit.
Featuring: Alexis Trice, Allison Bamcat, Amy Guidry, Angelique Benicio, Aunia Kahn, Bob Doucette, Caroline Gaudreault, Catherine Moore, Daniel Segrove, Daryll Peirce, Deirdre Sullivan-Beeman, E.E. Kono, Gabriela Sincich, Genevive Zacconi, Heidi Taillefer, Henry Schreiber, Jeannie L. Paske, Jel Ena, Jenna Wing-Hu, Jessica Dalva, Jessica So Ren Tang, John Walker, Karen Remsen, Kaysha Siemens, Lacey Bryant, Linda Larson, Luis Tinoco, Mandy Tsung, Martin Hsu, Mary Syring, Melissa Morgan, Michael Campbell, Michael Koehler, Min Kyung Kwon, Morgan Booth, Natascia Raffio, Nico Cathcart, Pony Ma, Ron Norman, Rupy Kaloti, Ryan Martin, Sandra Yagi, Sea Monster, Shannon Taylor, Stephanie Jucker, Sybiline, Tosin Kalejaye, Valéry VECU Quitard, Vincent Fink, and Ximena Rendón.
This group exhibition will run in conjunction with a solo exhibition by Spanish painter Olga Esther.

Saturday, October 21, 2023 from 12-10pm

Celebrating 20 Years as the Near Southside’s Premier Arts Event
_________________
INFO www.artsgoggle.org
_________________

ArtsGoggle presented by @Trinity Metro is Fort Worth’s premier festival of local arts. This free to the public, family-friendly event annually hosts more than 1,000 visual artists, 50 musical performances, artistic displays of every kind, food, drink, and fun for everyone. Unlike any event in Fort Worth, it exclusively focuses on highlighting the work of local artists, musicians, and performers of all mediums and experience levels. ArtsGoggle attracts a crowd of 60,000+ patrons that are as diverse as the Near Southside neighborhood where the event is hosted. Visitors are invited to park their cars and rediscover this revitalized urban neighborhood by foot or by bicycle, including Fort Worth Bike Sharing bikes.
ArtsGoggle started 20 years ago as the Near Southside’s own indoor gallery night designed to showcase the district’s revitalization efforts underway via newly-established business hosting one-day open houses in partnership with local artists. The event remained almost exclusively indoors for the first decade before spilling out onto the street. Today, visitors are invited to stroll artist’s booths on Magnolia Avenue that stretch more than a mile in length and adjacent businesses, new and old, tout ArtsGoggle as their best day of sales each year.
ArtsGoggle prides itself in providing a casual, approachable and vibrant environment to appreciate art and learn about the talents within our own community. For almost two decades, this non-juried art festival has been the launch pad for many artists showing their work for the first time. ArtsGoggle provides a supportive setting for both aspiring and professional artists with new collections to display, sell and seek comment on their artwork.
Accompanying the visual artists, the entertainment at ArtsGoggle heavily features local musicians and offers performances from a variety of genres. In addition, the event partners with arts organizations across Fort Worth to draw attention to their programs.

LOCATION
Outdoors: Centered along Magnolia Avenue from 8th Avenue to S. Main Street, 21 blocks, one mile stretch. A feast of art!
Indoors: At participating Near Southside venues such as restaurants, bars, offices, and retailers who are hosting artists, live music, and other entertainment in celebration of ArtsGoggle!

COST
Free to the public

More info at Southern Star Brewery.
Personal note:
I am extremely pleased to be participating again in this art show in memory of my late dear friend and fellow Houston artist, Michel Draper. His friendship meant so much to me and since his passing I always feel a part of me and the community is a little less without him. Michel loved to have a good time and that’s what we did best, so I will go drink plenty of the brews that he designed the 1st labels for at Southern Star and I hope you will join us. His can designs will forever live on to remind us of his artistic brilliance. I hope that this blog post also serves as a sort of memorial about him. There needs to be more content about his work on the internet. I hope to continue to add to this in the coming years.
Here’s one of his works from our art collection:

The Portrait Show 11: Beyond Original

The Portrait Show 11: Beyond Original
Our portrait show this year is entitled Beyond Original. We have identified some the most (arguably) famous portrait paintings in art history and participating artists will be painting reinterpretations, inspired homages, and contemporary narratives that reflect the original work with their own unique style and artistic context.
