  Austin FC vs. New York City FC

  El Tree returns home to square off with Uruguayan midfielder Santiago Rodríguez and the rest of the City Football Group-owned side. This match marks the first-ever league encounter between the two clubs. There’s not much currently separating mid-pack teams in the Western Conference as Major League Soccer’s pause for the Leagues Cup nears, so three points in this contest would provide a nice boost for ATXFC before its new signings can debut later this month. – Derek Udensi

  “Summer Break”

  Parents talk about “summer slide,” where kids get lazy and sluggish, losing any academic momentum. I posit there’s an adult summer slide, where we forget how to be alert, how to look for inspiration. Cue gallerist Kevin Ivester. He’s curated a slice of the current Austin art scene at ICOSA on view through Aug. 3 – opening reception on July 5. His vision of what’s out there is colorful, bold, and requires active viewership. The pieces are full of architectural lines echoing Austin’s ongoing construction of self: three-dimensional forms taking up space, exerting themselves in a changing landscape. Ivester’s outlook features a bevy of Austin’s best, but they have one thing in common – they’re surprising works that demand thought. It’s not homework, it’s a jolt of needed energy with this “Summer Break.” – Cat McCarrey

  “Vessels – Handle With Care” by Diane Chiyon Hong

  Vessel: a container that holds things. Vessel: a person infused with a quality. What quality? Any. Feel free to interpret it yourself when basking in Diane Chiyon Hong’s exhibit “Vessels – Handle with Care.” Her architectural sketches, part function, part form, part object, part person, part humor but all thought-provoking, currently grace the halls of the Asian American Resource Center. It’s Asian American Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Month, so why not pay the AARC a visit. I mean, if not now, when? – Cat McCarrey
