Guest blogger Lydia Regalado writes about people who gather to make things.

The Pin Show (above) was the Greatest Show on Earth! At least that’s what it looked like from the line that was wrapped around The Door. Kind of like a three ring circus actually. There was the runway show, a staged area set up for one-minute photo shoots and the shop set up in the back. The place was packed, proving that some in Dallas have a penchant for fashion and independent art. Can’t wait for next season’s event!

Next up: Velvet painting at the Latino Cultural Center
Texas artist Benito Huerta will demonstrate painting on velvet tomorrow for Latino Cultural Center’s Target Second Saturdays! If you like this kind of great kitsch, check out the Velveteria in Portland, Oregon, a museum solely dedicated to the art of painting on velvet. Benito’s demonstration begins at 11 am, this is a free event.
See you there!
