ABOUT Eddie and Vinnie
By Jenny Millinger

Commissioned by and World Premiere presented at Magik Theatre, San Antonio, TX

Anthony Runfola, Artistic Director
Frank Villani, Chief Executive Officer

In partnership with Celebrate Dyslexia

Eddie has dyslexia and struggles with schoolwork, and finds out he can’t play on the basketball team unless he gets his grades up.

With the help of his pet gecko, Vinnie, and the overly-helpful new girl in class, will Eddie’s final class presentation come together, or will his basketball dreams be dashed forever?

A Magik Theatre world premiere!

Western Art celebrates the American West, including the wild places and wildlife that grace the land. The Briscoe Western Art Museum is transforming into a photographic zoo this fall, showcasing the beauty of the West and the animals that call it home in Thomas D. Mangelsen – A Life In The Wild, an exhibition containing 40 of the renowned nature photographer’s most resonant photographs—images that take viewers on a journey across the West and around the globe. The exhibition will be on view at the Briscoe Sept. 30, 2022 – Jan. 29, 2023, and is included with museum general admission.

Now in its 32nd year, Red Dot is Blue Star Contemporary’s signature fundraiser, raising vital funds to support BSC’s exhibitions, art education initiatives, and other artist-centric programs.

Honorary Artist: Andy Benavides

A LIFE IN THE WILD is an exhibition containing 40 of Mangelsen’s most resonant images—images that take viewers on a journey into the haunts of iconic species whose struggles for survival are metaphorical fulcrums for reflection in the 21st century.

The San Antonio Art League & Museum (SAALM) has invited this quartet of San Antonio artists to exhibit in the annual Invitational Exhibit at the historic King William museum.  The artists provide stunning responses to the places that have profoundly touched their lives, exploring themes of chaos vs order, duality and struggle, and concerns both personal and environmental.

This eclectic exhibit includes artwork that is figurative, abstract, and sculptural, utilizing mixed media, printmaking, surface treatment, and light – each work demonstrating how inspiration is transformed into artistic success.

The Invitational Exhibit will be on display at SAALM from Tuesday Nov. 8 through Saturday, Dec. 17, with an artists’ reception on Sunday, Nov. 13, from 3-5 p.m. The museum, located at 130 King William, is open Tuesday through Saturday 10 a.m.-3 p.m., and admission is free.

Bring a smile to a senior- deliver a meal!! We serve more than a meal; we provide vital social contact and a safety net. You will be delivering the meals in your own car in the 78207 neighborhood, the near west side. The cooler you will receive with the meals is 42 inches long, 19 inches wide, and 20 inches deep (Igloo 150-Qt. Maxcold Performance Cooler). It fits most SUVs and 4 door cars in the back seat or trunk. You arrive to pick up the meals at 10:30 am (2802 W. Salinas, 78207) and can complete the route within 1-2 hours, then return the cooler. We give you the route including address, names, and phone numbers so you can call when you arrive at the home. This is great to do in pairs so one person can drive and navigate, and the other can call the seniors upon arrival and hand-deliver the meal. It can be done with one person, but it will take a little longer. If you are a pair, only one person needs to register, but we ask both to complete the volunteer application. Only the driver needs to upload a driver’s license. Please notify Susan.Barnes@HNS-TX.org if you will be attending with another person. All volunteers must wear a mask at our site and while delivering. Please complete this volunteer application before you register. You only need to complete it once. When you register on Givepulse https://givepul.se/5qf63a , you will be able to access the application and handbook online. If you would like to fill out a paper version, please email Susan.Barnes@HNS-TX.org with any other questions you may have. Her cell is 512-917-2778
