Kristina Salinas presents a visual exploration of the space-both real and symbolic-between herself and her Mexican roots. Tracing her paternal lineage, Salinas journeys from San Antonio through Laredo to her ancestral home in Candela, Coahuila, collecting images that reflect her cultural identity.

The exhibition title plays on "cognitive dissonance," highlighting the tension between her life as a contemporary artist and the traditions of her family. Through this work, Salinas invites viewers to consider what is lost and gained across generations, honoring the risks and complexities of immigrant heritage.

Join us for our first Saturday monthly 5 Mile Hike at Phil Hardberger Park, and bring a friend! We'll walk approximately 5 miles along the perimeter trails of the park. We will cross both the Skywalk and the Robert L.B. Tobin Land Bridge and pass by several points of interest. This 5 mile hike covers a variety of walking path and will take up to two hours to walk, though may finish sooner based on the group.

The show opens March 22, 2026 through May 27, 2026, and presents creative pinhole portraits of San Antonio Artist immersed in their artform.

The opening exhibit of Eric O’Connell’s pinhole photography invites viewers into a living moment where time, movement, and memory converge. Through long exposures that compress minutes into a single frame, O’Connell reveals portraits that are both sharp and softly obscured, capturing not just a subject’s image but the interaction, motion, and atmosphere surrounding them.

Ghostly blurs, shifting shadows, and layered spaces create a sense of transparency and connection, allowing creativity, place, and presence to merge into one unified view. This exhibit asks audiences to slow down and consider the fleeting, often overlooked relationships between time, the artist, and the world they inhabit.

As the Edwards Aquifer Authority (EAA) celebrates 30 years of stewardship on June 28th, we invite residents, students, businesses, and organizations from Atascosa, Bexar, Caldwell, Comal, Guadalupe, Hays, Medina, and Uvalde counties to help us look to the future by showcasing how you're managing the drought. Whether you're collecting rainwater, composting, using drip irrigation, or embracing native plants—we want to see it!

Winning photos will be featured in the 2027 EAA Calendar, celebrating innovation, resilience, and the community’s shared commitment to protecting the aquifer.
