Artpace’s Fall 2026 exhibitions feature artists Irene Antonia Diane Reece (Houston, TX), Roksana Pirouzmand (Los Angeles, CA), and Chavis Mármol (Mexico City, Mexico), guest-curated by Rigoberto Luna.

Curated by Rigoberto Luna, the three exhibitions open onto three distinct worlds: one where spectacle turns symbols of power into play, one where our lives and actions extend beyond ourselves and become intertwined with those of others, and one where the archive is met not as history but as something living and present.

Doors open to public at 11:30 with lunch (free) donated by individual members of Gardening Volunteers of South Texas.

12:00 - 3:00 class with 15-minute break:
As a partner organization in the regional collaboration to each year in October raise awareness of butterflies in support of the Monarch butterfly migration, GVST is pleased to welcome Craig Wilson, director of the USDA Future Scientists Program, who will present from his own research on Monarch butterflies from 12:15 to 1:30. Then after a 15-minute break we will move to "Imagine a Day without Water" reflection and discussion.
Gardening Essentials is provided free of charge and is open to public; children must have an adult present in meeting.

Donations to the Dr. Tom Harris Memorial Scholarship Fund are encouraged.

Haunted History Walking Tour hosted by Curious Twins Tours & Events, each Monday in October from 7:30-9pm.

Just south of downtown San Antonio lies the King William Historic District, Texas’ very first residential historic neighborhood.

With its first homes dating back to the 1850s, this neighborhood along the San Antonio River is a living testament to the city's rich history, with each structure telling a story of Texas architecture and the individuals who lived within.

But alongside this significant history are generations of stories of the unexplained, from ghostly apparitions to strange occurrences.

Join Curious Twins Tours & Events this October, who will share chilling stories from a unique source: firsthand accounts submitted by residents, business owners and visitors of the King William Neighborhood. This one-of-a-kind walking tour will bring to life actual stories of the unexplained.

Tour Details

When: Every Monday in October at 7:30 pm
Where: Meet at the gazebo in King William Park, 131 King William Street, San Antonio, TX 78204.

Tour ends at the Arsenal Bridge area, and Curious Twins Tours & Events will walk the tour group back to King William Park at the conclusion.
Price: $25, with a portion of proceeds directly supporting the King William Association.
