There's always a lot going on in Houston's arts community so Artlandish is moving a day earlier to cover it all. On top of the gallery fare we have a Palestine Film Festival being put on by Rice Media Center (there's a kick-off party tonight at Khon's bar in midtown, p.s.). DiverseWorks is hosting the run of a new dance performance which is supposed to be top-notch. Urban Market Houston is back this weekend for all antique-lovers out there. And let's forget about economic crises for a few days and celebrate the 15th Annual Festival of Greece which starts tonight and runs through Sunday at the St. Basil the Great Greek Orthodox Church. What Houstonist is most excited and will not forget about, however, is the new production by Catastrophic Theatre, The Designated Mourner, which opens tomorrow night at the Catastrophic offices across the street from the Menil Collection. Seating is limited so get your tickets while you still can.
