Community Calendar

A select group of Hill Country artists will demonstrate, display and sell their works representing a variety of media from oil paintings and photography to glasswork at the 2025 Comfort Art Festival. Artists will greet shoppers and have displays inside and outside of Comfort restaurants, boutiques, and specialty and antique shops throughout the downtown historic district. A list of artists and their locations will be available at participating merchants. In its 13th year, the event is a Hill Country tradition. The unique pieces of art complement the antiques that shoppers seek in Comfort. A visit to the festival is a great way to welcome fall to the Hill Country.

Ruby City proudly presents Synthesis & Subversion Redux, an exhibition celebrating the legacy of Frances Jean Colpitt and the evolving conversation around Latinx art. This new exhibition revisits Colpitt’s groundbreaking 1996 show, Synthesis and Subversion: A Latino Direction in San Antonio Art, and its influence on contemporary art practices today.
In 1996, Colpitt brought together a group of San Antonio-based artists—Jesse Amado, David Padilla Cabrera, Alejandro Diaz, Franco Mondini-Ruiz, Ana de Portela, and Chuck Ramirez—who explored identity, abstraction, and the everyday through conceptual approaches. The exhibition challenged norms and sparked critical debate, becoming a pivotal moment in San Antonio’s art history.

Now, nearly 30 years later, Redux builds on Colpitt’s vision while reflecting the profound changes in the art world since then. Curated by two Latinas in leadership roles at major institutions, Ruby City Director, Elyse A. Gonzales, and Curator of Latinx Art at the McNay Art Museum, Mia Lopez, Redux showcases the work of five contemporary artists: Juan Carlos Escobedo, Jenelle Esparza, Bárbara Miñarro, Angeles Salinas, and José Villalobos. These artists bring fresh perspectives to themes of identity, memory, and culture, often through craft-informed practices that incorporate textiles, personal history, and connections to the U.S.-Mexico border.

The exhibition will be on view from February 15, 2024 through September 28, 2025 at Studio, located inside Chris Park (111 Camp Street).
