    With 2012 officially behind us — along with its Cadillac Ranch sex scandals and Picasso spray-painting — the Houston gallery scene ushers in the new year with a barrage of openings Friday and Saturday.

    Judging from the fliers and e-blasts circulating the past month, this weekend marks the start of some strong exhibits, with new paintings by Scandinavian artists Mie Olise and Sigrid Sandström at Barbara Davis and Inman, respectively, as well as vintage prints from late Scottish artist Ian Hamilton Finlay at Hiram Butler.

    See Scandinavian artists Mie Olise and Sigrid Sandström at Barbara Davis and Inman, respectively, and prints by Scottish artist Ian Michael Finlay at Hiram Butler.

    Other highlights include a new solo show from Devon Britt-Darby, the Houston art critic who made waves with his 2011 performance piece opposing the Art Guys' tree marriage. The two-week exhibit sure to make a splash when it opens Saturday evening at PG Contemporary, which closes at the end of the month as gallerist Zoya Tommy relocates to 4411 Montrose building.

    To help all you gallery-hoppers through this maze of openings, here's a full rundown of the weekend's event. Feel free to add anything we missed in the comments below.

    FRIDAY

    Starting at 6 p.m., the Isabella Court galleries on Main will host photographer Ted Kincaid at Devin Borden, performance artists The Bridge Club at Art Palace and the aforementioned Sandström at Inman. The David Shelton Gallery offers Common Objects, a three-artist show exploring various aspects of daily life.

    Also starting at 6 p.m., 4411 Montrose galleries welcome Houston-based installationist Adela Andea at Anya Tish, Mie Olise at Barbara Davis and a show for Japanese neo-dadaist Ushio Shinohara at the new Zoya Tommy Gallery. Wade Wilson will launch a show of abstract works from Mark Williams, Todd Williamson and the legendary Robert Ryman.

    SATURDAY

    Start the day at Hiram Butler with a brunch-time opening for Ian Michael Finlay . . . breakfast tacos and margaritas will be provided by Armando's food truck from 11 to 1 p.m.

    Later in the day, the Colquitt galleries kick off a slew of fresh exhibits Saturday with openings for painter Marci Crawford Harnden at d.m. allison from 6 to 9 p.m. and a Moody Gallery group show from 4 to 6 p.m. With receptions from 6 to 8 p.m., McMurtrey opens shows for painters Robert Kinsell and Howard Sherman while Catherine Courtier launches new work from trippy fine art photographer Maggie Taylor.

    On the east side, Box 13 opens the third installment of it juried show Disturbance of Distance from 7:30 to 9 p.m. while Hardy & Nance Studios starts its apocalypse-themed exhibit We're All Dead Now with a St. Arnold-sponsored reception from 6 p.m.

    In the Museum District, Contemporary Arts Museum Houston has a performance piece by Clifford Owens at 2 p.m. Then at 3 p.m., the Asia Society presents a talk by artist Kip Fulbeck for his current show part asian, 100% hapa. Judging from Fulbeck's short film included in the exhibit, the presentation should be pretty entertaining.

    After catching Devon Britt-Darby at PG Contemporary in Midtown from 6 to 8 p.m., swing up to the Heights to UP Art Studio's pop-up street art show in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr.

    Yacht rock legends Toto and Christopher Cross sail into Houston on 2026 tour

    Toto is coming to Houston in August 2026.

    Three bands from the late 70s and early 80s — Toto, Christopher Cross, and The Romantics — are heading out on tour together with a stop at the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion in The Woodlands on August 7, 2026.

    The tour will run for 32 dates including one at the Germania Insurance Amphitheater in Austin on August 8. It starts in Bethel, New York, in July and ends in Toronto, Ontario, in August.

    Toto, best known for the hit so big it became a meme, "Africa," has had one of its strongest years in its 48-year history, according to a press release. In 2025 alone, their music has garnered more than a billion streams, with a weekly digital average of more than 20 million. "Africa" and "Hold The Line" have exceeded two billion and one billion streams, respectively, and have both gone at least triple platinum. Meanwhile, the majority of fans remain under 34 years old.

    Christopher Cross is a longtime friend of Toto and has collaborated with the group for more than 40 years. The two artists have toured extensively together. Cross became the first artist to win the "Big Four" awards at the Grammys for Record of the Year, Album of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best New Artist, two of which were for "Sailing."

    Finally, The Romantics are known for a British-American hybrid of rock music, that is often featured in movies, such as “What I Like About You,” “Talking In Your Sleep,” and “One In A Million."

    Ticket sales begin Friday, December 12, at 10 am via totoofficial.com.
