Prudencia Gallery is pleased to announce our exhibit with Artist Soon Y. Warren, "Refractions: the Art of Crystal and Color." The exhibit will run from June 6 to July 12. We will have an opening reception on Saturday, June 6, from 2 to 4 p.m. Soon will give her 'Artist Talk', June 28 at 3 pm.

Soon Y. Warren was born in South Korea and emigrated to the United States in 1987. Soon's favorite subjects are the beautiful plants and flowers she finds around her, often flowers from her own gardens.

Since Soon began painting full-time in 1998, she has had many exhibitions and earned numerous awards. She is a signature member of the National Watercolor Society, the American Watercolor Society, the Southern Watercolor Society, the Society of Watercolor Artists, and the Texas Watercolor Society.

Alamo Beer Company is proud to announce the return of its 10th Annual FatherFest, taking place on Sunday, June 15, 2025, at its brewery located at 202 Lamar Street, San Antonio, TX 78202. A portion of proceeds from the event will benefit Pints for Prostates, a national nonprofit focused on men's health awareness.

Established as a local tradition, FatherFest has become a go-to celebration for families looking to treat dad to a fun, relaxing day out. This year’s event promises cold beer, delicious food, and dad-friendly vendors.

Street Food Kings will be on-site offering a special 10-ounce Angus steak meal, and all dads will receive a complimentary pint with their first beer order. In addition to food and drinks, guests can browse local vendors curated with dads in mind—ranging from wood work to shoe shines and accessories.

“FatherFest has become a tradition in San Antonio, and we're proud to continue supporting Pints for Prostates while giving families a chance to raise a glass to dad,” said Eugene Simor, CEO of Alamo Beer Company. “At the end of the day, it’s about celebrating the man who helped raise you—and what better way than with a cold pint and good company.”

Founded in 1997, Alamo Beer Company opened its brewery doors to the public in 2015. Despite ongoing challenges in the craft beer industry, Alamo Beer remains committed to brewing quality beer and serving the San Antonio community.
