1. Hand Crafted Artwork by Peter Ligon
RE gallery, Dallas
November 21- Jan. 2015
Opening Nov. 22, 6-9pm

Ligon “paints on location from observational subjects” e.g. “en plein aire,” but he’s no Sunday painter. Re Gallery is but one stop on the 12th Annual Cedars Open Studio Tour, happening November 22, from 12-6.

5a.& 5b. East Austin Studio Tour weekend #2 and Artcrawl Houston
All over Austin and Houston
EAST: November 22-23, 11-6
ARTCRAWL: November 22, 10-9

Two sprawling open studios events give access to literally hundreds of spaces and artists, some you’ve seen before, some you’ve never seen, and some you wish you hadn’t. It’s an unfiltered, vegetable-market view of the creative energy lurking in unlikely places. The specifics are here for EAST in Austin and here for Artcrawl Houston.
