Art Notes Take Cover! Cover Sun Conscious Clothing creative darlings Lisa Moore and Robyn Stevens suitably chose the American Cancer Society as the beneficiary of a portion of proceeds from the sale of one of their swimmingly UPF 50+ designs. Launched during May's National Skin Cancer Awareness Month, Cover is donating a minimum of $10 from each sale of their $124 white longsleeve swim shirt to ACS's "Choose You" campaign — an effort to spur women to make healthier lifestyle choices by educating them in the ways of cancer prevention — through April of 2013. At Five and Ten, neimanmarcus.com. Brooke Hortenstine For this month's PaperCity curated artist, we tapped Texas talent Kelley Devine to showcase her newest body of work, "Paper Poor." Often raiding her own library or secondhand bookstores to save from buying costly canvas or fancy art-store paper, she begins with titles and texts that have special resonance, then uses them as a background upon which to draw all Kelley Devine's Lucy Vuitton, 2012 manner of animal images, with a deft touch and sensitivity to the spirit of each creature. We commissioned Miz Devine to literally take inspiration from April's issue and turn it into an artwork, in keeping with this series. A graduate of Southeastern Louisiana University with a BFA in sculpture who's exhibited at the well-regarded Jonathan Ferrera Gallery in New Orleans, Devine has branched out to explore painting, print-making and the aforementioned drawing (she is also a member of the drawing collective Sketchy Neighbors). This multimedia artist says of her current endeavor, "By using pages from books, I am able to give a deeper level of meaning to the image." Each Devine piece for PC Acquire — we consider them divine — is one of a kind, beginning with the creation shown on this page, drawn upon our own printed pages.

The artist's nature-inspired well-known glass sculptures such as Seaforms, Niijima Floats, Venetians, Fioris and Macchia Loops have been glorified over the world — including The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Smithsonian American Art Museum and the Corning Museum of Glass. Beginning Saturday, May 5, Chihuly's impressive sanctuary will float within the garden's flower beds, grassy knolls, ponds and fountains, as no portion of the garden was off-limits to his artistic grasp. Take in Chihuly Nights, a magical after-dark exhibition with illuminated sculptures and four dining options, including dinner at Restaurant DeGolyer and alfresco noshes at Café on the Green. The evening exhibit is open Tuesdays through Thursdays from May to July, with the daytime exhibition open seven days a week and running through November 5, rain or shine. 8525 Garland Road, 214.515.6500; dallasarboretum.org.

The husband-and-wife team of Scott and Gina Gottlich has divided the eatery into a casual bistro-style restaurant as well as a formal chef's dining room that offers a standard or vegetarian tasting menu — imagine parsnip and sunchoke soup, squab breast and herb gnocchi.

The duo has been invited by SFMOMA to take their Fair smarts, integrity and commitment to the West coast — San Francisco, to be precise — to organize a design fair that is less than a year away. FOG (don't you love this name?) will unveil January 16 to 20, 2013, at Fort Mason Festival Pavilion within the glorious green space of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. Birdies: We're mad for a triumvirate of exhibitions at The McKinney Avenue Billy Hassell's Brown Pelican, Turbulent Sea II, 2011, at The MAC Contemporary (The MAC) all underscoring environmental issues. Houston talent Daniel-Kayne solos with a new statement piece about water, while headliner Billy Hassell goes to the birds. Staunch Texan Hassell's latest canvases have an Asian feel and balance between figuration and patterning — exquisitely realized here in "Watershed." Completing the trio is California Bay artist Carol Salter, whose staged photographs and videos subtly star taxidermied fauna (through May 19). Prepare Your Paddles: Heritage Auctions' modern and contempo man, Frank Hettig, is plotting an exceptional auction for May 22, stocked with a trove of Warhols, from a timeless Marilyn to a sassy Superman. Also watch for an early David Bates still life from 1984 and a nice little Basquiat painting on paper, plus a side of Cuban art (Preview May 19 – 22; ha.com). Catherine D.
