Infinity Square: An Exhibition by Louis Vega Treviño and Ben Mata.
This exhibition showcases the boundary-breaking works of contemporary artists Louis Vega Treviño and Ben Mata, with fabric and steel sculptures, unique geometric canvases, and bold colors. Color, balance, rhythm, and geometry, all contribute to their work as they try to examine and illustrate the relationships within each form and color as they evolve into an environment of their own. The color relationships, the repetition, the environments they create, all have an undeniable role in activating the senses creating a visual language for the viewer to translate into feelings, emotions and energy. Both artists have committed themselves to an innovative approach, with Treviño’s geometric abstraction on non-standard canvases, and Mata’s bold colors spread across his many experiments with materials. This exhibit offers an exciting look at the vibrancy and originality that San Antonio is known for.

Classical music encounters new sounds, new rhythms, and new possibilities:

Darius Milhaud — La création du monde, Op. 81
William Grant Still — Suite for Violin and Piano
Ragtime (with members of the New England Ragtime Ensemble)

Milhaud’s La création du monde draws on jazz and African musical traditions to create something entirely new—one of the earliest and most compelling fusions of classical and jazz idioms. William Grant Still’s music brings lyricism, elegance, and a distinctly American voice to the program. The second half turns to ragtime itself, with works by Scott Joplin, James Scott, and others, performed by members of the legendary New England Ragtime Ensemble alongside festival artists.

*This production is not a presentation of the Carver Community Cultural Center or the Carver Development Board.

Fiesta Noche del Rio is a spectacular outdoor performance featuring live music, singing and dancing in the beautiful Arneson River Theatre in La Villita on the San Antonio River Walk.

The San Antonio River Foundation's summer camps at Confluence Park explore aspects of the natural environment and artistic process through daily projects, nature walks, community visits and artistic creations. This year, camps are offered for students ages 7-9 and 10-13.

Each day, students will learn about a different theme tied into the ecosystem of the river, park, and the communities that we live in. Much of the day will be spent making artwork that reflects our interest in the natural world. We will sculpt draw, and paint, work together and individually; learn to look and pay attention to things we may have overlooked before. Students should expect to spend time by the river and walking outside.
