This bacon bank was in last year's Annual Student Art Show

Chris Cascio: Color Sickness at the EMERGEncy Room Gallery, 7–9 pm. I believe that this show will be very scarf oriented, if scarfs are your thing. Otherwise, just come see it because Chris Cascio rocks. (And to change the subject, The Emergency Room needs its own website--the Rice Visual and Dramatic Arts website is more boring than the DPS's!)
Henry Kaiser, Undersea Video from Antarctica + guitar at 14 Pews, 7 pm Thursday and Friday. Kaiser is an underwater videographer for the U.S. Antarctic Program as well as a musician. He will be accompanied by Damon Smith, Sandy Ewen, David Dove and others.
FRIDAY

Detritusfeaturing Kat Cole, Laritza Garcia, Tara Locklear and Chesley Williams at the Houston Center for Contemporary Craft, 5:30–7 pm. This is a show of mostly jewelry. The work all incorporates some element of discarded found material.
