On the heels of being named one of the New Dallas Nine at the recent D Art Slam, artist Kathleen Wilke will display her photography at Decorazon Gallery in Oak Cliff. Wilke's underwater photography is sometimes creepy but always dreamy and ethereal (as is "Sleep Me a Dream," above). Check out her stuff, as well as new works by Michele Mikesell and David E. Peterson, at the Bishop Arts gallery.
If your idea of art involves a thumping beat, check out Fridays at Fedora, a hip-hop set that kicks off at 11 p.m. at the One Arts District Italian restaurant. There's no cover, bottle service is available, and most important, the soundtrack of the evening is created by DJ Rob Viktum.
