These are great places to discuss the validity of Die Hard and Gremlins as Christmas movies. They're more enjoyable than Jingle All the Way, that's for damn sure. Anyway, we're a little more than a week away from getting through Christmas and looking forward to the next year.. Remember to shop local when looking for gifts. Enjoy!

Patterson-Appleton Arts Center

Comic books may be for popular consumption, but that absolutely doesn't discredit their value as artwork. Greater Denton Arts Council presents an interactive exhibition that proudly celebrates independent artists and graphic novelists. There will also be work from the greats such as Jack Kirby and Stan Lee. A $5 special exhibition admission (Free for GDAC members and current students) will allow viewers to get a behind-the-scenes look at how comic superheroes are created.

Mulberry Street Cantina
110 W Mulberry St.
Daniel Christopher McCullaugh's surreal portraits on the wall at Mulberry Cantina are reminiscent of what it's like to stare at your own reflection in a crystal clear lake before dropping a pebble into the water. 

tAd Gallery

tAd continutes their Outskirts: Bodies, Places, & Identities series with the updated exhibition, "is this (not) a woman." The new exhibition features the works of four artists: Mētra Saberova, Tae Kyung Seo, Ana Treviño, and Deirdre Vertucci.

West Oak Coffee Bar
114 West Oak. ST
Head towards the back wall to find oil paintings of Denton artists, Daniel McCullaugh, whose work appears as if it was turned surreal by a dip of his hand. 

Prints by Connor Gillaspia dominate the main wall. His work delves into identity, memory, and spirituality. He aims to present a resonant story through a single image.
