Wild Horses
Religion, sexual discovery, child psychology, parental issues, ritual sacrifice …and horses. The various themes addressed in Peter Shaffer’s Tony Award winning play, written in 1973, could all be the backbone of any narrative if tackled individually, but in Equus the convergence of multiple storylines makes for a production that is uniquely deep and layered.
Gallery Openings
Several galleries in the Design District will have openings including Craighead Green Gallery, Samuel Lynne Gallery, Cameron Gallery, Photographs Do Not Bend, Marty Walker Gallery and Conduit Gallery.

Artist + Architect
This weekend marks the opening of Transitive Pairing: Body Objects, an exhibit that comprises creations by three teams – each one a partnership of an architect and artist who specializes in fashion or fabric. We could so see a television show based on the loft art pursuits of these students not unlike the hit Bravo show Launch My Line, but with forward thinking artwork.
