Artlandish: Weekend Arts Calendar

The next three days are packed with openings and events all over town. The fact that the FotoFest 2010 Biennial kicks off today is the reason behind most of the gallery activity, but it also just feels like the city is waking up to the new spring weather. The Museum of Fine Arts is hosting a number of outdoor activities all weekend long at their Rienzi outpost in Bayou Bend as part of the Second Annual Spring House & Garden Days and the Menil Collection has organized a Community Arts Festival during the day on Saturday in collaboration with the various art organizations around the Montrose neighborhood.
