    Lawndale's retablos wrangle in artists in anticipation of Dia de los Muertos

    • Jan Avery, "Anoint the Souls of the Dead," 2009
    • Jean King, "The 5 Remembrances," 2009
    • Sue Liska, "La Cancha Eterna," 2009

    Update: All 300 retablo tins have been retrieved by entrants.

    The roster of events surrounding Dia de los Muertos at Lawndale Art Center is legendary, and while October's blowout is still some time away, the party's already getting started for the city's artistically-inclined risk takers. Today, Lawndale is releasing an open call for entries for its non-juried exhibition of retablos, the traditional devotional painting indigenous to Latin America.

    Entrants are encouraged to eschew the typical Catholic iconography in favor of something entirely contemporary. A maximum of 300 pieces of metal are now being distributed at Lawndale to anyone who wants to participate. No formal art credentials are required.

    "I expect them to all be gone by the end of the day tomorrow," Lawndale's Dennis Nance tells CultureMap.

    The finished works will be compiled into an exhibition and auctioned on Oct. 22 at the organization's gala. Participants can opt to donate 50 percent of the profit of their work to Lawndale, and offering a full donation gets two tickets to the gala and silent auction/preview party. "It's our biggest fundraiser of the year," Nance says of the art auction.

    Jimmy Buffett’s Coral Reefer Band will keep the party going in Houston

    Death is proving to be no obstacle in keeping the spirit of Jimmy Buffett alive, as his Coral Reefer Band will set off on the Keep The Party Going Tour in 2026, which will include a stop at the The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion in The Woodlands on Friday, July 24.

    The monthlong tour will start on July 9 in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, traveling to 19 cities. In addition to Houston, the band will play in Austin on July 23 and Fort Worth on July 25.

    Buffett passed away in 2023 after a battle with skin cancer, but before he died, he asked that everyone “keep the party going.”

    The Coral Reefer Band backed Buffett around the world for decades, and they'll continue the tradition of delivering singalong-filled summer nights that Buffett made a yearly ritual for Parrotheads everywhere.

    Sharing lead vocals on the tour will be Mac McAnally, Scotty Emerick, Will Kimbrough, Peter Mayer, and Nadirah Shakoor.

    Fans can expect an evening filled with many of the iconic songs that defined Buffett’s career, as well as deep cuts and special insights and stories from the musicians who shared such a deep connection with the singer.

    Buffett's long career included over 30 albums, many of which reached the top 10 on the Billboard 200. For all of his success, it took Buffett 34 years until he achieved his first — and only — No. 1 album of his career, License to Chill in 2004.

    His most iconic song is "Margaritaville," which inspired both a restaurant chain and hotel and resort chain.

    On the tour, the band will also honor another long-standing tradition of Buffett’s by continuing to support the charity, Singing for Change, to fund grassroots, local non-traditional community organizations turning good vibes into good deeds.

    Tickets for the tour will be available starting with a Citi presale beginning on Tuesday, March 17, at 10 am.

    Additional presales will run throughout the week ahead of the general on-sale on Friday, March 20, at 10 am at LiveNation.com.
