It’s Friday and I’m fully ready for a weekend built around thrifting and finding things I absolutely did not plan on buying. After our first Local’s List, I’ve been locked in. As you’ve probably noticed, Fridays are for Local’s Lists, and while I was supposed to have a full dirty martini roundup for you from my lawyer friend, life happened. So you’re getting me and my current fixation, which is art workshops I love or have been wanting to try now that spring is making me feel a little crafty.

Speaking of artsy plans, we have a giveaway that is actually so good I had to pause for a second. Wildflower! Arts & Music Festival is back May 15 through May 17, and it’s one of those weekends that just feels like a full reset. You can enter for a chance to win a pair of tickets, which I will also be pretending I’m eligible for.

JUST ANNOUNCED

• You could be at Latido Festival at Sam Houston Race Park on April 10. Enter now for a chance to win tickets and lock in a day filled with music, movement, and a crowd that shows up.*

• Don’t sleep on Yung Bleu at House of Blues Houston on June 3. The We All Need Therapy Tour leans into raw lyrics, polished sound, and a live experience that actually feels intentional. Get your spot early.

• June 7 at House of Blues Houston is French Montana. Not much convincing needed here, you either pull up or hear about it after. I’d secure the ticket.

• Lock in your plans now for Trapt at Warehouse Live Midtown on December 6. It’s one of those shows that leans nostalgic but still hits the same when you’re in the room.

• Plus other just announced shows from Tophouse, Artemas, Akeem Ali and more!

LOCAL GUIDE TO ART WORKSHOPS IN HOUSTON

I made this list because I’ve been craving plans that don’t revolve around eating or drinking, and I know I’m not the only one. As someone who runs a creative space, I’m always looking for experiences that actually feel fulfilling. These are workshops I love or have been wanting to try, all centered around making something with your hands and getting out of your usual routine. Check out the list below!
