Domy Books's 4th annual Monster Show opens with a reception on Saturday from 7-9pm. The packed group show will include the monstrous work of Sterling Allen, the Sumi Ink Club, Jenny Hart, Michael Sieben, and many others. Fair warning for the squeamish, Domy's Project Space will feature an installation by Dave Allen that will bring to life the crime scene of Jack the Ripper's final murder. If you'll be haunting Houston for the weekend, Domy's Westheimer store will also be holding their Monster Show opening on Saturday.
A self-described painter of "maps and scary people", Michael Abelman will be at Co-Lab on Saturday with his exhibit The Creepiest Things from 7pm until late on All Hallow's Eve.
Sunday is Día de los Muertos and the Mexican American Cultural Center will be celebrating with a festival honoring friends, family, and the departed. Many altars will be set up and the festivities will include music from Bombasta, El Tule, and Maneja Beto. The MACC is located at 600 River Street and the fiesta runs from 4 to 10pm.
The Future Art Festival is also being held on Sunday from 3pm until late into the night at The Tabernacle Artist Warehouse (2801 Manchaca Rd.). The Day of the Dead costume ball will feature the robotic sculpture performance Home Automation by David Karave. The new media and experimental art and music showcase will also feature work by sculptor George Sabra and music by DJ Placebo Effect.

Someone should run a story about Art Palace being shuttered and Arturo packing it up and moving to Houston. That's a pretty big contemporary gallery loss for the Austin scene.
