Art Center Waco unveils its latest exhibition—Jack Bowers’s Perspectivism—with an opening night reception on Thursday from 6 pm to 8 pm. Featuring new artwork as well as older pieces, the show gives viewers an opportunity to be surprised by their own interpretations of what they see in his art.
College football returns to McLane Stadium on Saturday night as the Baylor Bears take on the Albany Great Danes and try to keep their momentum going from last year.
Tickets are still available and range from $10 to $50.
Oh my Star Wars! Inspired by the classic sci-fi franchise, Nexus Esports hosts Rise of the Burlesque on Saturday night. In his latest article, the Waco Insider’s Jonathan Kinder says you can expect performances that are equal parts provocative and comedic.
