Four cellists forsake their classical ways to form a group the likes of which have never been seen. The 440 Alliance combines classical training with the stylings of classic rock, hip hop, Nintendo, and other madness that will astound you. Oh yeah, there's also drums and turntables.
It all sounds like Mozart, Led Zeppelin and Dr. Dre collaborating at a summer backyard barbeque.

Redefining the Disfranchised: The Political Art of Nina Allender As we continue to celebrate the 88th Anniversary of Women's Right to Vote, there's a prime opportunity to view influential art from the era. Nina Evans Allender drew political cartoons for The Suffragist from 1914 into the 1920s, transforming stereotypical views of who a suffragist was. Over the years, Allender contributed more than 250 political cartoons to the movement, a number of which are on display at the Women's Museum at Fair Park. More info
