Art Center Waco opens a new exhibit on Saturday whose location may matter more than the show’s artwork.

This photo by Charles Evans is on display at "Waco's Amateur Photography Exhibit."

The exhibit, “Waco’s Amateur Photography Exhibit,” features photographs by Charles Evans, Carol Crosthwait, Hack Branch, Josie Cunningham Roby, Spencer Moore, Steve Dutton and Farley Verner.

The location, 220 S. Fourth St. in the building that formerly housed the Ollie Mae Moen Discovery Center, is downtown, where Art Center Waco Director Mark Arnold says the center intends to move.

“We want to show the community that we can be down there,” he said.

The show features 15 to 20 color and black-and-white images from each photographer, covering a range of subjects, including architectural studies, wildlife and scenes from national parks. Exhibit hours, however, were not available.

“Waco’s Amateur Photography Exhibit” will run through February.

There’ll be a lot of story-telling and tale spinning Saturday night, but it’s not to avoid the truth.

It’s the Heart Of Texas Storytelling Guild’s second Tellebration, a celebration of storytelling that will feature more than a half-dozen storytellers, including Fort Worth “urban griot” De Cee Cornish, as they entertain young and old. “It’s sort of like a storytelling concert,” explained guild president Vivian Rutherford, a storytelling Waco children’s librarian.

The event is from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Saturday at Austin Avenue United Methodist Church, 1300 Austin Ave. Local storytellers will have 5 to 10 minutes each to spin yarns, with the Houston-born Cornish taking the program’s second half.

Admission is $5, free for children.

Baylor Opera Theater will stage Francesco Cavalli’s 17th-century opera “Ormindo” at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday at Baylor University’s Roxy Grove Hall. Admission is free.

The baroque opera, first performed in 1644, is a romantic farce involving two pairs of lovers and set in the Kingdom of Mauretania. Brian Arnold will sing the lead role Friday and Michael Gasparro on Saturday. Baylor Opera director Michael Johnson will direct both performances.

Two multi-band concerts this weekend will benefit local nonprofit organizations thanks to the efforts of the McLennan Community College commercial music students who organized them.

The “Generation to Generation” benefit at 8 p.m. Friday at Club Legacy, 101 Mill St., will offer a night of jazz and hip-hop music with proceeds going to the music programs at six Waco middle and high schools.

On the event’s playlist are Meheim, JR Aguilar, Dick Gimble and his Jazz Friends, Mr. Big Stuff Band, Mr. Ceno G, Lil’ Pooh Tha Chosen 1, Keimo Therapy and E-Money & Sha’Dana. DJ Mr. Classic will host.

“Shred the Park,” slated for 3 to 10 p.m. Saturday at the Waco Skate Park at 1301 Barnard St., will raise money for skateboarding advocacy group Skate254. Scheduled to perform are Silence the Tempest, Crashing Denver, Delay and Whisper and The Project of Steve.
