via Uptown Ciclovia
Write and share your own poetry at Nasher Sculpture Center during a guided tour exploring the intersection of poetry and sculpture this Thursday at 6 p.m. Discussion and reflection will be guided by poets Bruce Bond and Corey Marks, whose respective interests, say event organizers, “range from jazz guitar and metaphysical inquiry to the nature of individual experience in a larger world defined by fable, history and pop culture.” The event is free, but advance registration, available online here, is required.
Experience Klyde Warren Park and the Katy Trail in a way that isn’t possible from inside a car during Uptown Ciclovía — a free, family-friendly event to be held near Preston Hollow in Uptown from 10 a.m. 3 p.m. on Memorial Day. The Ciclovía event turns major city streets into a safe and open, car-free environment for families to run, bike, play and be well together. The event kicks off with an opening ceremony at Klyde Warren Park at 10 a.m. Residents of Dallas can enter the route at any point since there is no starting point or finish line.Local companies and vendors will be sponsoring recreational activities scattered along the route for participants to enjoy such as yoga, zumba, a rock climbing wall, and children’s activities.
