In these clamped-down, stressed-out, resource-stripped days of pandemic, we ve come to scarcely expect art exhibitions at all, much less ones that present wide-ranging surveys showcasing dozens of artists.
And yet, here we are, greeting 2021 with just such a broad, extensive show. Two years after heroically assembling work by 50 women artists into a single exhibition, artist and curator Moya McIntyre has made that monumental effort again. The number of artists in the second edition of The Femme Abstract may be slighly smaller, but the show itself is no less engrossing than the Austin Critics Table Award-winning first. Here are pieces by more than 40 artists spread over two floors in a former office space in the redeveloped warehouse at 979 Springdale, and the varieties of style and medium are so expansive that every wall, every room, every nook and cranny offers a distinctive and fresh experience.

Colombian swimmer Carlos Serrano discusses the importance of motivation, passion and purpose in the IPC s latest episode of A Winning Mindset: Lessons From The Paralympics.
Serrano, who won three Paralympic medals at the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games, joined Andy Stevenson to speak over his life outside the pool and the key drivers behind his career so far.
“I feel a responsibility of making all people of short stature proud,” Serrano said. “I do intend to support sports in anyway possible, I’d like to continue providing motivation to disable people, so they can work hard and improve.”
