Celebrate Women’s History Month at Northwest Vista College. Sabra Booth & Sophie Sanders, Blue: Water as Metaphor Exhibition, March 24-May 9,

Palmetto Center for the Arts, Northwest Vista College, 3535 N. Ellison Dr. San Antonio, Texas 78215, 210-486-4527.

Booth and Sanders met while both living in New York City in the early 2000’s. Their water themed work depicts imagery of the female form, as well as aquifer fauna and flora. They also collaborated on an artist book for the exhibition, which additionally includes Sander’s large cyanotypes and Booth’s prints.

The late artist and activist Michael Tracy is known for color-saturated paintings, assembled and cast sculptures and mixed-media objects that challenge conventional beauty while addressing issues of faith, ritual, immigration and the environment. In remarkable symmetry, the McNay Art Museum hosted Tracy’s first museum exhibition in 1971 and his works return in the last exhibition he was directly involved with before his recent death at age 80.

The exhibition surveys approximately two decades of his career, and many of the works — paintings, sculptures and mixed media abstract objects — have never been exhibited before. The presentation will feature large-scale paintings spanning floor to ceiling while an original soundscape commissioned from composer Omar Zubair will complete the environment.

'Michael Tracy: The Elegy of Distance' is organized for the McNay Art Museum by René Paul Barilleaux, Head of Curatorial Affairs; and Christopher Rincón, President, Michael Tracy Foundation and Director, River Pierce Foundation.

Major funding is provided by the Arthur and Jane Stieren Fund for Exhibitions and Peter M. Holt. Additional support is provided by the Flora Crichton Visiting Artist Fund; Semmes Foundation, Inc.; Elizabeth Huth Coates Charitable Foundation of 1992; Christopher C. Hill; Louis H. and Mary Patricia Stumberg Foundation; and Sara Paschall Dodd-Denton.

'Sport and Spectator' provides a common space for the art lover and sports fanatic. In this banner exhibition, contemporary artists transform sports gear and equipment into works of art. Artworks predominantly include sculptures made from common sports objects, including basketballs, footballs, helmets and jerseys that celebrate and critique sports culture, masculinity and materiality.

'Sport and Spectator' features works by Brandon J. Donahue-Shipp, Jeffrey Gibson, Raul Rene Gonzalez, Sophie Inard, Brian Jungen, Justin Korver, Betsy Odom, Esmaa Mohamoud, Hank Willis Thomas and Tyrrell Winston. Numerous exhibitions in the past have been dedicated to sports culture but this is the first dedicated to sports equipment and the artistic alchemy that changes the everyday into the extraordinary.

Through images and stories, this exhibition provides a historical overview of U.S. Latino participation in World War II. Images of Valor incorporates archival photographs with contemporary photographs of men and women of the WWII generation by photojournalist Valentino Mauricio. The exhibition focuses on individual stories that reveal larger themes such as citizenship and civil rights and includes excerpts from oral history interviews with the featured Latino veterans.

Images of Valor will be on display Thursday, April 24, 2025, to Thursday, June 5, 2025, at MACRI's Visitor Center, located at 2123 Buena Vista Street, San Antonio, Texas 78207.

The gallery is open Monday through Friday, 10 AM - NOON and 1 - 4 PM, or by appointment.

Images of Valor: U.S. Latinos and Latinas in World War II is curated by the Voces Oral History Center at The University of Texas at Austin and presented in partnership with Humanities Texas, the state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.

MACRI's programs are funded in part by the City of San Antonio Department of Arts & Culture, Bexar County, the Mellon Foundation, the John L. Santikos Charitable Foundation Fund of the San Antonio Area Foundation, Spurs Give, and individual donors like you! Gracias!
