I don’t hate museums, but they sometimes feel like an overflowing catacomb, bursting with previously heralded artistic and social potentials that are now empty of relevance.

Highlights of this weekend's Temescal's First Friday art walk: an art show and fundraiser for suicide prevention at Sacred Wheel Cheese Shop, a "Quatro de Mayo" celebration in the Alleys, and a Kids Only Art Show at Rise Above. Details and full listings at temescalfirstfriday.com.
