Artpace's Spring 2026 International Artist-in-Residence Exhibitions are on view now until July 19, 2026. Visit three new exhibitions at Artpace this season: Hydra by Violette Bule, Hauntology of Their Labor by Mel Chin, and trăng trắng | milk moon by Việt Lê.

Explore MACRI’s new traveling exhibit, You Have the Right: Mexican Americans and Due Process of the Law.

This exhibit explores three court cases involving Mexican Americans and Mexican-perceived individuals that have been significant to the interpretation of the Fifth, Sixth, and Fourteenth Amendments and shaped interpretation of due process of the law in the United States: Miranda v. Arizona (1966), United States v. Brignoni-Ponce (1975), and Chavez v. Martinez (2003).

The verdict in these cases, whose plaintiffs were Mexican American and Latino individuals, affect all Americans today. Miranda v. Arizona (1966) secured what we now call our “Miranda rights;” United States v. Brignoni-Ponce (1975) prohibited law enforcement from stopping and questioning someone on the basis of their appearance; and Chavez v. Martinez (2003) marked a rollback in protections from coercive questioning from authorities.

The three moments featured in this exhibit remind us that the interpretation of constitutional amendments is constantly debated in courts at all levels of government, and can result in expansions and contractions of civil rights. The legal struggle for civil rights is continuous, and rarely a linear progression.

The exhibit will be on display from Monday, April 27, 2026 through Tuesday, June 30, 2026.

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

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!

WHAT: A captivating large-scale immersive art experience, Otherwild, will transform the San Antonio Botanical Garden this spring into a vibrant world where wonder takes root and the sky comes alive.

Debuting Saturday, March 7, the exhibition features colorful visionary installations by artist Patrick Shearn and his internationally renowned studio, Poetic Kinetics, which is recognized for large-scale public art that inspires awe, movement, and creative exploration.

Otherwild invites visitors to step into a whimsical, nature-inspired environment where art and landscape merge. The installation will unfold into two distinct parts:

● Flora Borealis - a custom Skynet installation of ultra-lightweight, kinetic elements that float with the breeze, contrasting the SABG’s natural landscape

● Enchanted Trees - a sculptural grove of ten imaginary species, each with its own personality, crafted from reflective, movement-responsive materials that interact with sunlight and wind.

Otherwild is included with standard admission. To learn more and purchase tickets, please visit www.sabgtx.org

WHEN: March 7 - July 7, 2026

WHERE: San Antonio Botanical Garden
555 Funston Place
San Antonio, Texas 78209

Otherwild is included with standard admission. Daily admission to the San Antonio Botanical Garden is $18-22 adults; $16-20 military; $13-15 children aged 3-13; $3 Museums for All (with SNAP or WIC EBT card and valid ID).

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.
