What
The Blanton Museum of Art at The University of Texas at Austin announces its spring line-up for Second Saturdays, the popular community program featuring live music and performances on the grounds, picnicking on the Moody Patio, and a variety of art activities and talks throughout the museum. Happening on the second Saturday of the month (except for a special Sunday Mother’s Day event), every Second Saturday has a different theme. The spring line-up highlights the Blanton’s new exhibitions—and of course, moms.
