Crafts & Activities

Food Trucks & More
And for those who work up an appetite shopping, there will be plenty of food and drinks available from vendors like D’Lish Curbside, Frosted Betty Bake Shop, It’s a Wrap, Foreign Policy, and Nom Mi Street food trucks, amongst many tasty others.
On View at Asia Society
After you’ve browsed the booths be sure to stop inside the museum to take advantage of free admission to two of Asia Society Texas Center’s latest exhibitions.
On view in the Louisa Stude Sarofim Gallery is In the Wake: Japanese Photographers Respond to 3/11 – the first exhibition in the United States or Japan to explore the photographic response to the Great East Japan Earthquake which struck on March 11, 2011, destroying virtually everything in its path.
Visitors can also get a free look at the fantastic 3D photography of Slovenian artist Matjaž Tančič in 3DPRK: North Korean Portraits on view in the Sarofim Grand Hall.
Tančič’s landmark 3DPRK series offers a unique glimpse of the citizens of Pyongyang, North Korea’s capital, which continues to remain unfamiliar to the outside world.
