Stop by SMU’s Pollock Gallery this weekend to see The Triple Carbs Society for the last time. Berlin-based artist Marco Bruzzone integrated the concepts of middle-class America, minimalist art and, oddly enough, pasta into one exhibition. It’s open Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m.-5 p.m., and attendees will receive pasta at lunchtime. Learn more about the unconventional exhibition here.
The Dealey Montessori and International Academy’s Fall Carnival this Saturday from 1-5 p.m. features horse rides, train rides and a rock climbing wall. While you explore the carnival, peruse garden crafts from Northaven Gardens and arts crafts from Studio Bella.
