| NOLA Before I Die Wall, Pablo Picasso's Guitar and Wine Glass, Alejandro Diaz A Can for All Seasons |
There are so many great art events and exhibitions happening in San Antonio this Summer!
Here's my list of must see and do events:
From public spaces to living wages, trabajadores(workers), struggle to maintain decency and integrity. Working the 9-5 and beyond, time and effort remain crucial. Photographers Destiny Mata and Gabriel Morales capture the daily grind and the last sacred spaces left for the working class.
Curated by David S. Rubin, this exhibition features work by 17 San Antonio-based artists whose work examines the hybridity and mutation in nature as a result of environmental factors.
June 10 - August 17 - Recycled, Repurposed, Reborn - McNay Art Museum
This exhibition will feature a wide range of collages and assemblages from the museum's collection.
June 10 - September 6 - Lesley Dill: Performance as Art - McNay Art Museum

Through September 12 - It Takes a Village: New Work by Alejandro Diaz - Linda Pace Foundation
This solo exhibition of new work by New York-based artist and San Antonio native, Alejandro Diaz "uses pop, modern, and folkloric works of art as its starting point, and evokes previous artists or art movements that combined high and low art, often using language and humor as a form of cultural and socio-economic critique."
