An evening in Spain is a fundraising event for Timeless Concerts, held at the home of Delores & Richard Pell.

Having received a standing ovation by our audience the last time we played music by Joaquin Turina, we knew that this composer we love, was loved by all; his music returns! Turina was born in Seville, Spain in 1882. He employed local Spanish colors and folk music in his most successful musical pieces. Having also studied in France, he adopted conventional European forms of the Impressionist Era, making his music even more imposing. Also to be performed on this concert are the works of composers Pablo de Sarasate of Pamplona, Spain (1884-1905) and Isaac Albeniz.

This concert's musicians are violinist LeeAnne Chenoweth, cellist Karen Maddox Smith, pianist David Dubiel, violist Yvonne Ciminiello. POST-CONCERT pianist Steve Stroud.

More information, including how to purchase tickets is found on Timeless Concerts' website.

The Fort Worth Art Dealer’s Association (FWADA) is hosting their Fall Gallery Night so that everyone can view the visual arts and our community’s unique cultural richness. This year's Fall Gallery Night is Saturday, September 7. Most participants are open from noon to 9 pm. Take a stroll through participating galleries, museums, retail businesses, and area restaurants, and enjoy the many artists featured during this community event. Gallery Night is free and open to the public.

Participating venues in the Arlington area include The Arlington Museum of Art, Sparks Studio, The Upstairs Gallery, and The Gallery at UTA. You can download the Fall Gallery Night brochure and map from the FWADA website or pick them up at many of the participating institutions.

The Arlington Museum of Art presents Women of Baseball, a retrospective of women's participation in America's past time. The creation of an all-girls team at Vassar College in 1866 introduced women to the sport that had been solely enjoyed by men. In addition to the establishment of an all-female league during the WWII era, the 20th Century saw a significant number of women playing professionally alongside men in the male dominated sport.

The Women of Baseball exhibit begins with a member's reception from 7-9 pm, Friday September 6, 2013 and will run through October 20, 2013. More information on the exhibit and other events (such as lectures) will soon be available on the Arlington Museum of Art's website. More information about the museum's hours and admissions are also available.

The Arlington Museum of Art has hosted several events in conjunction with its Harlem Renaissance Exhibit. It will host its final one, a Night at the Apollo, a week before this exhibit closes. In line with the actual Apollo Theater, the AMA will be hosting its own Amateur Night, featuring amateur acts from North Texas. And as with the original, audience participation decides the winner.

Cash prizes will be given to the winners. Tickets to this event will include admission to come back and see the Harlem Renaissance Exhibit before it closes on August 25. Check out the museum's website for more information on this event, including how you can apply to participate in this Amateur Night.

In conjunction with their current show, the Harlem Renaissance, featuring a William H. Johnson: An American Modern exhibit, the Arlington Museum of Art is continuing their celebration of the Harlem Renaissance with a Poetry and Jazz Fest. It will be held in their basement amphitheater and is free with purchase of admission on Saturday, July 6th, 2013, 10:00am - 5:00pm.

This all day event will celebrate the poets and musicians of the Harlem Renaissance and show the influence they have had on contemporary artists. Local DFW poets will read selected works from Harlem Renaissance greats such as Langston Hughes and Countee Cullen, as well as from their own original works.
