What’s the most exciting event happening this December? Christmas? Chanukkah? Finally getting to see Star Wars: The Force Awakens? The young jedi in our families are bursting with excitement about all things Star Wars right now, and we can’t wait to take them over to ART on 5th to check out the new exhibition of Star Wars artwork featuring favorite characters and scenes from the iconic films. This Austin gallery will host this collection by four official Disney artists: James Coleman, Rob Kaz, Allison Lefcort, and Rodel Gonzalez. The show will be on display from Friday, Dec. 11 through Sunday, January 31.
