A full Sunday of artists and performers rang in the 30th anniversary of The Kitchen, Dallas' favorite studio.

With its sloping metallic exterior, scattered families of huddled cacti and ample space for a crowd to cling to the adjacent stage across the property’s green space, Far Out felt like both a humble and high-end host for the sweet celebration. Inside the building, visual artists with ties to The Kitchen also displayed their work for purchase. One artist, Lawrence Cosby, had a number of his minimalist abstract geometric paintings displayed. Several of these were used in collaboration with The Kitchen’s owner as visuals for his music. They will be viewable on his YouTube channel, which you can subscribe to The musical festivities began at 4 p.m., ushering in a stacked lineup of artists who have close ties with The Kitchen, many of whom are a part of the studio’s core crew of audio engineers.

Several more artists played, including audio engineers of The Kitchen: Chloe Jobin, Alex Beane and Liah.
