‘Best of 225 This Week:' Check out Stabbed in the Art, then stay up late to catch a meteor shower

Stabbed in the Art, which was on hiatus for a few years, made its triumphant return to Baton Rouge in June and is having another event Saturday night, Best of 225 This Week reports.
The pop-up at The Radio Bar is organized by Culture Candy, a local nonprofit aimed at giving emerging artists opportunities to share their work with the city. The exhibit will be open to the public 6-10 p.m. During this window, bar patrons will be able to peruse the show’s offerings and interact with the artists directly.
The Earth is also about to plow through a patch of cometary debris, referred to as the Perseid Meteor Shower.
This shower is regarded as the most breathtaking shower in the Northern Hemisphere, producing 50 or more meteors per hour every year. Technically, Earth has been passing through this patch of debris since July 17 and will continue to do so until Aug. 24.
However, the shower’s peak, when the Earth passes through the densest area, will occur Aug. 12.

The best way to watch is to be as far from city lights as possible so the Highland Road Park Observatory is hosting a viewing party from 10 p.m.-2 a.m.

The Perseids are poised to put on a much more awe-inspiring show than usual this year, as the moon will be near its new moon phase on Sunday.
