Summer arts preview: Here are the season's most anticipated exhibits and performances.

Summer heat turns up the volume this month, but in true can-do Texas spirit, our community continues to offer all sorts of cultural affairs from now through August.

We asked our arts critics and writers to select the most exciting exhibitions and performances of the months ahead — and to give us a sneak peek at what to expect.

Here’s what to mark on your own calendar.
