The King William Association Cultural Arts Committee sponsors an exhibit of Adam Smo’s Neon and Blown Glass. Adam began his career with glass in 2012 without any plan as to what he was going to do. At first, he did a lot of production glass for other companies as well as his own production. This resulted in a good decade of blowing glass daily. Around 2018, he began to learn and experiment with plasma art which led him to getting his foot in the door with neon. He pursued learning neon sign making and spent several years learning and practicing neon signs. He was able to take on more jobs as well as make his own artwork. Now he takes a small responsibility for helping to keep both the history and future of neon alive.
The exhibit will be on display through August 6, 2026. M-Th 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
Selena Forever | Siempre Selena is a photographic exhibition featuring images by Texas photographer John Dyer, capturing Selena at a pivotal moment in her rise to stardom.On View: June 4, 2026 – January 4, 2027
This exhibition features intimate and striking photographs captured during Selena’s rise to international stardom in the early 1990s. The exhibition offers an intimate look at an artist whose talent, charisma and determination transformed Tejano music and helped redefine representation for Mexican American women in popular culture. The featured images have never been displayed together, giving new context to Dyer’s work with Selena.
More than a music icon, Selena was a groundbreaking Tejana whose story reflected the spirit of the American West itself: bold, resilient, entrepreneurial and deeply connected to culture and community. Like generations of Tejanos who helped shape Texas through perseverance, innovation and cultural pride, Selena forged her own path while carrying the traditions of her community forward. Her legacy continues to inspire new generations, embodying the pioneering spirit, creativity and determination that remain central to the story of the West.
“Selena’s story is deeply connected to the cultural pride and artistic expression that define Tejano identity,” said Jackson. “Her influence transcends music and continues to inspire audiences across generations, making her an important part of this broader cultural conversation. The exhibition shares an icon who demonstrates the lasting influence of Tejanos – and Tejanas – in Texas and beyond.
𝘚𝘦𝘭𝘧 is a group exhibition that reexamines video art at Artpace through the work of four alumni artists. Each artist investigates the complexities of identity through self-portraits, projections of the self, and the body as a means of self-representation. This exhibition explores both how individuals perceive themselves and how others might view them.
While each artist employs distinct strategies—whether through video performance, observation, reflection on physical change, or narrative experimentation—they are united in their examination of selfhood. Together, these works offer a multifaceted exploration of identity, inviting viewers to consider the many ways it is constructed, performed, and perceived.
Featured alumni artists include Alex Bag, Paul Pfieffer, Kang Seung Lee, and Anne Wallace.

Our July 21st meeting features two speakers from the Greater Edwards Aquifer Alliance: Annalisa Peace (Executive Director), and Rachel Hanes (Policy Director).
PROGRAM TOPIC: Texas will need innovative solutions to prevent water shortages and crises. Central Texas is an ideal location to increase adoption of atmospheric water generation (AWG) technology due to both its climate and its need to reduce reliance on typical water sources. AWG cannot solve every water crisis, but has the potential to be a critically important resource, especially when used innovatively.
SPEAKERS: Annalisa Peace (MS in Urban Administration, Trinity University) has over thirty years’ experience with government and non-profit organizations. This includes organizing citizens’ campaigns, and serving on governmental advisory boards in San Antonio (SA) and New Braunfels such as Kelly Air Force Base Restoration Advisory Board, and the City of San Antonio (CoSA) Task Force that drafted SA’s water quality rules. Since 2004, Ms. Peace has been Executive Director of the Greater Edwards Aquifer Alliance (GEAA), which works to protect the Edwards and Trinity aquifers, their contributing watersheds, and the Texas Hill Country. She also serves on the Texas Water Development Board’s Regional Flood Planning Group for the Guadalupe watershed, CoSA’s Water and Natural Resources Stakeholder Group for the Climate Action Plan, the Environmental Advisory Committee of the SA River Authority and more, working to maintain the environmental integrity of our region.
Rachel Hanes (BA in Political Science and Spanish, and Master of Public Policy and Management) has multiple years in environmental and water policy, working within and with non-profits and local, state, and federal governments. Before joining GEAA, Ms. Hanes was a program analyst for the U.S. Department of Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, working to help manage and conserve water in the West. She has also worked for the Natural Resources Defense Council on decarbonization efforts, the Office of Congressman Joaquin Castro, the League of United Latin American Citizens on environmental issues along the border, and the Esperanza Peace and Justice Center in San Antonio on local water issues, and much more. She currently is GEAA Policy Director.

The San Antonio River Foundation's summer camps at Confluence Park explore aspects of the natural environment and artistic process through daily projects, nature walks, community visits and artistic creations. This year, camps are offered for students ages 7-9 and 10-13.
Each day, students will learn about a different theme tied into the ecosystem of the river, park, and the communities that we live in. Much of the day will be spent making artwork that reflects our interest in the natural world. We will sculpt draw, and paint, work together and individually; learn to look and pay attention to things we may have overlooked before. Students should expect to spend time by the river and walking outside.
