The Día de los Niños art exhibit opens tomorrow at the Ice House Cultural Center, with more than 300 works of art created by students from seven neighborhood elementary schools — Lida Hooe, Anson Jones, Sidney Lanier Arts Vanguard, Maria Moreno, Rosemont Elementary and Primary, and Winnetka. To celebrate the opening, the center is hosting a Kids Arts Fest on Saturday with a painting party (10:30-11:30 a.m., ages 4-12), collage making (11:30 a.m.–12:30 p.m., ages 8-15), and art casting (12:30–1:30 p.m., ages 8-15). The art activities are free, but space is limited so RSVP at 214.670.7524.

More weekend events in our neighborhood, after the jump:

Haley-Henman Gallery‘s new exhibit, "Breaking the Sound Barrier", includes a music series inspired by the visual art and sculptures, in which musicians will play a variety of unusual world instruments and sometimes even the artwork itself. Saturday night’s 7-9 p.m. free performance features Craig Shropshire, Christopher Acezedo and Thorrific.

Easter egg hunts aren’t just for kids at the Belmont Hotel, where kids are invited to hunt for candy-filled eggs by the pool at 1 p.m., and adults will search for prize-filled eggs in the gardens immediately following. Both egg hunts are free. The Cliff Cafe will offer its regular Sunday brunch menu from 7 a.m.-3 p.m., with chef Robin Gill Lacy also serving Benedict specials — ham and spinach or asparagus.
