There is a hell of a lot of interesting, diverse art events and exhibits happening in town--way more than what we have listed here. Check Glasstire for a much more complete listing. It's exciting but also a bit depressing that it is getting hard to actually see everything in Houston. Here are a few things to see this weekend.
THURSDAY

This isn't the sculpture Jonathan Clark is unveiling Thursday night--but it's similar!
Jonathan Clark at Skyline Art Services, 5 pm. Clark's sculpture is just exhilarating like a high school stage band with a groove. Plus, music, food, drinks and art featuring the Kashmere Stage Band!
