The Bullock Museum will host a special series of Third Thursdays evening programs with live music by local artists, art-based experiences, and a cash bar.

Schedule of events

• June 15: The Peterson Brothers combine infectious energy and modern grooves with jazz, funk, blues and soul to create their unique sound. Additionally, visitors can create their own watercolor painting with Richard Samuel of RichesArt Gallery, who creates vivid, eclectic, and realistic watercolor paintings.
• July 20: Austin-based Zach Person has been hailed as the new face of indie rock, with a sound that is loud, raw, and connects with his fans on a primal sonic level. Visitors can also make a collage with local Austin artist Kemi Yemi-Esi, a therapist and visual artist whose art reflects the struggles and triumphs of living with a disability.
• August 17: A giant of the Austin R&B scene, Mélat’s unique sound is influenced by her parents’ native Ethiopian music, jazz, and the blues. Guests can experience screen printing with Flatbed Center for Contemporary Printmaking, a collaborative printmaking studio dedicated to creating and promoting the art and craft of the original print.

At each event, visitors will also be able to create sketches inspired by African American poetry, experience poetry writing inspired by the exhibition with Austin Public Library’s Badgerdog program, and create a photo memory against a floral backdrop.
