ON THE COVER UP IN THE AIR The bats may be Austin’s preferred winged creature, but in Wimberley, it’s the butterfly that’s basking in the spotlight. Every April, the town cele- brates life with the release of thousands of butterflies and fanfare to boot at the annual Butterfly Festival, hosted by the EmilyAnn Theater and Gar- dens. The 21st annual event takes place April 27 and kicks off with an opening ceremony at the Wimberly Veterans Memorial to honor lives lost in the past year, and the day continues with food, crafts, games, bounce houses, entertainment, and more. Guests can celebrate the winged wonder with T-shirts, live butterflies in individual boxes, colorful butterfly wings and wands, and butterfly tiaras. In addition to the release of 4,000 butterflies, and a live Flight House featuring hundreds of native butterflies, an art exhibit celebrates the 2019 EmilyAnn Artist of the Year—youngsters can put their most artistic foot forward with the annual art contest, in partnership with Frisco ISD. The best-in-show butterfly becomes part of the EmilyAnn’s permanent collection. For more information, visit emilyann.org/butterfly or call 512-847-6969.

  • 2021 Spring/Summer Series
    Dear Patrons, Welcome back to live events at the Bologna Performing Arts Center! We are excited to have artists returning to our stage, and look forward to inviting you to attend shows again. Things will be a little different this spring and summer. Due to the ongoing nature of the pandemic, we are going to put each show on sale individually, about 4-6 weeks before each event. This allows us to make sure we are following the most recent executive orders, including audience capacity guidelines. Please refer to the on-sale dates for each artist in this brochure. Seating has been reduced for our Spring/Summer Series, and is being sold in staggered pairs and groups. We ask that you purchase all of the seats in the grouping to ensure that patrons are comfortable being seated together. At this time, all patrons are required to wear masks during their visit to the Bologna Performing Arts Center. All of our staff and volunteers will also wear masks, and do daily temperature checks and symptom monitoring. We ask you to please monitor your own health, and stay home if you do not feel well. We have also increased our cleaning and sanitation regimens. We have invested in new cleaning systems to ensure that the theater is totally sanitized prior to every performance. We encourage you to call us at 662-846-4625 or visit our website www.bolognapac.com for the latest health and safety operating guidelines prior to your visit. We are eager to resume presenting live events with this Spring/Summer Series.

  • WATCHMOJO – the Life and Career of David Bowie (1947-2016)
    WATCHMOJO – The life and career of David Bowie (1947-2016) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lan_wotkon0 [Fashion] Welcome to watchmojo.com and today we're taking a look at the life and career of David Bowie. [Queen Bitch] David Robert Jones was born on January 8 1947 in Brixton London England. Though he showed musical interest at a young age it was only in the early 60s that he really pursued the art. He started by joining several blues bands but branched off on his own when they had little success. Renaming himself David Bowie he released his self-titled debut in 1967. [Who's that hiding in the apple tree clinging to a branch] Its lack of success led Bowie to participate in a promotional film called Love you till Tuesday which showcased several of his songs. A particular interest was Space Oddity : that track became a hit after it was released at the same time as the first moon landing. [Ground control to Major Tom] His sophomore effort of the same name however was another commercial disappointment. [The man who sold the world] To promote his third album The man who sold the world, Bowie was put in a dress to capitalize on his androgynous look. [Life on mars] [Ziggy Stardust] In 1971 a pop influenced record called Hunky-Dory came out and was followed by the creation of his flamboyant Ziggy Stardust persona and stage show with backing band The Spiders from Mars. Then came his breakthrough record The rise and fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars which climbed the charts thanks to his performance of the single Star Man on Top of the Pops.

Culture and art happen, planned or not. The motivation for developing a vision and goals along with a strategy to achieve those goals flows from the growing recognition and acknowledgment that arts are integral to our human existence. Culture engages minds, enriches the education of children, and supports lifelong learning. Culture helps define the character or identity of a community in which people feel a sense of belonging. It engages citizens in activities that help build a sense of community, resilience, and civic engagement. Finally, as the community grows, culture celebrates diversity and helps newcomers feel welcome.

    INVITING THE WORLD INVESTING IN DALLAS 2019 ANNUAL REPORT 1 “A robust tourism industry helps our great city thrive and is a critical component of the Dallas economy. The first thing that visitors to Dallas experience is our hospitality, making the industry vital to establishing and maintaining our reputation around the world.” Eric Johnson Mayor of the City of Dallas TABLE OF CONTENTS Executive Message 3 Background & Mission 4 Financial Overview 8 Budget Categories 1| Sales & Incentives 9 2| Marketing 13 3| Site Visits & Tours 16 4| Local Arts & Events Incentives 19 5| Administration & Research 24 Investing in Dallas 26 Big goals. Great partnership. Dallas is well known for its beautiful skyline, its impressive buildings and its rich heritage. What we consider most impressive, though, is the spirit of its people, and our collective power to make change. Big change. Together since 2012, private hoteliers in Dallas have been able to work with the public in a unique partnership with a shared goal: Enhance tourism. Dallas was the first major city in Texas to establish a Tourism Public Improvement District, which by law allowed us to utilize travelers’ dollars in a strategic way to not only grow the number of visitors to our city, but also to enrich the lives of the people who live and work in Dallas. Other cities, seeing our success, have followed suit. As usual, Dallas leads the way, and in a big way, with the most wins by any Texas Tourism Public Improvement District to date. Since the Dallas Tourism Public Improvement District’s (DTPID) inception in 2012, together we have realized a multi-billion-dollar economic impact.
