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).

Join the San Antonio Philharmonic for an unforgettable musical celebration with Juan Gabriel: A Philharmonic Tribute, taking place at the historic Scottish Rite Hall on September 12 and 13 at 7:30 PM, and September 14 at 2:30 PM.

This special concert honors the enduring legacy of Juan Gabriel, Mexico’s most beloved composer and performer. Known for his rich songwriting and emotional depth, Juan Gabriel’s music has transcended generations and borders, becoming a vital part of Latin American cultural identity. Juan Gabriel is affectionately called "El Divo de Juárez," and was born in Parácuaro, Michoacán. Gabriel rose to fame after starting his career as Adán Luna, enchanting audiences in humble bars. His first hit, "No Tengo Dinero," marked the beginning of an illustrious journey where he touched millions with heartfelt songs like "Amor Eterno," "Querida," and "El Noa Noa."

With over 47 albums and a timeless legacy, Juan Gabriel became a beacon of Latin music, sharing his passion with the world and always remembering his roots by giving back to the community he loved.

The San Antonio Philharmonic brings his timeless music to life with the backing power of a full symphony orchestra, creating a moving tribute that bridges popular music and classical expression. The concert will be led by Award-winning conductor Felipe Tristán, whose visionary artistry and genre-blending interpretations have garnered international acclaim. Most recently honored with the 2024 Muzyczne Orły (Music Eagles) Award in Poland, Tristán is celebrated for his ability to connect diverse musical worlds. Following the success of his recent tribute to Selena, he now brings his passion for Mexican cultural storytelling to the San Antonio Philharmonic stage.

When you race with PMP Pals for the One-in-a-Million 5K Run/Walk, you’re helping us go the distance with Appendix Cancer. This rare disease, on the rise worldwide, affects one in a million people each year. Lace it up and celebrate life against the odds!

San Antonian Sheri Doss is grateful to be alive. Wanting to give back to both her local and peer support cancer communities. In 2024, Sheri established the One in a Million 5K Run/Walk to celebrate her 60th birthday and life beyond Pseudomyxoma Peritonei (PMP), closely related to appendix cancer. Sheri was diagnosed in 2021 with PMP, a rare disease affecting a small cross-section of the world - people of all ages, shapes, genders, and nationalities. After undergoing an intense lifesaving surgery known as CRS/HIPEC, her health returned due, in large part, to her daily walking routine. Sheri thrives because of her positive attitude, love for walking, and the online support she found through PMP Pals.

Net proceeds from the One in a Million 5K Run/Walk benefit PMP Pals, a global network of patients and caregivers living beyond an Appendix Cancer diagnosis, and related conditions like PMP which affect the gastrointestinal system, digestion, and nutrition. As you run/walk the course at McAllister Park, educational signage explains this rare cancer without a cure on the rise among young people under 40. Register today and lace it up for Appendix Cancer!
