Pop artist Peter Max returns to North Texas for 2 shows
We admit to having a soft spot for iconic pop artist Peter Max — after all, he actually designed an exclusive cover for Dallas Voice back in 2011. But even if he hadn’t, we’d be happy to have him back in town. And he’ll be here twice — in Fort Worth on Friday and Dallas on Saturday. Check out the latest work from one of the counterculture heroes of contemporary art.

Dark Circles Dance back for spring show
Joshua Peugh, the artistic director of Dark Circles Contemporary Dance, arrived in Dallas only two years ago from Korea, but it didn’t take him long to set down roots, starting a North Texas branch of his troupe here. Last fall, the company made its local debut, and it’s back for a spring performance, including a new work created by guest choreographer Louis Acquisto. Keeping with Peugh’s philosophy, prices are kept affordable, and the show takes place in the intimate space of the Sanders Theatre.
DEETS: Sanders Theatre,
1300 Gendy St., Fort Worth.
March 13 and 15 at 8 p.m.
$12–$20.
