The San Antonio Art League + Museum (SAAL+M) proudly presents Texas Legacy: Hidden Gems from the Collection, a rare opportunity to rediscover paintings and sculptures from the museum’s permanent collection that have not been publicly exhibited in decades. Spanning more than twelve decades of Texas art, the exhibition offers a compelling and sometimes surprising portrait of the state’s evolving creative spirit.

The public is invited to the opening reception on Sunday, January 11, from 3-5 pm at the San Antonio art League + Museum, 130 King William Street.

From early regional landscapes and representational works to bold experiments in abstraction and form, Texas Legacy reveals the wide range of artistic responses to Texas life, culture, and identity. Alongside more traditional subjects, the exhibition includes works that challenged conventions of their time—paintings that stirred debate or explored unusual and unexpected subject matter. These pieces reflect moments when artists pushed boundaries, questioned norms, or responded to social and cultural tensions through their work.
By bringing these hidden treasures back into public view, Texas Legacy: Hidden Gems from the Collection invites visitors to reflect on the importance of preservation, the value of rediscovery, and the enduring relevance of art that continues to resonate across generations.

HOURS: Tue-Sat, 10 am to 3 pm. Closed Sun & Mon
