The world-renowned, traveling art exhibit features groups of inflatable structures open for exploration and viewing. Even better, the event is free for the general public. From the outside, the exhibit looks like a group of gigantic, real-life Mario Kart weapons, but once you enter the sculpture, you are greeted with a maze of cave-like colorful rooms to walk through and explore.

HUMANS OF NEW YORK IN DENTON
Brand Stanton is the creator of the force of nature that is Humans of New York. The New York-based photo blog gained popularity due to the emotional and intriguing quotes and interviews that accompanied the images (not to mention their sharable nature). You've undoubtedly seen them before. Heck, you've probably shared a couple of them yourself.
The fine folks at UNT's Fine Arts Series are bringing Stanton to Denton this month. Next Wednesday at 7pm, Stanton will be at the UNT Coliseum talking about the nature of his work in an evening called Humans of New York: An Evening with Brandon Stanton.
