The King William Association Cultural Arts Committee sponsors an exhibit of Adam Smo’s Neon and Blown Glass. Adam began his career with glass in 2012 without any plan as to what he was going to do. At first, he did a lot of production glass for other companies as well as his own production. This resulted in a good decade of blowing glass daily.
Around 2018, he began to learn and experiment with plasma art which led him to getting his foot in the door with neon. He pursued learning neon sign making and spent several years learning and practicing neon signs. He was able to take on more jobs as well as make his own artwork. Now he takes a small responsibility for helping to keep both the history and future of neon alive.

The exhibit will be on display through August 6, 2026. M-Th 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.

Selena Forever | Siempre Selena is a photographic exhibition featuring images by Texas photographer John Dyer, capturing Selena at a pivotal moment in her rise to stardom.
On View: June 4, 2026 – January 4, 2027

This exhibition features intimate and striking photographs captured during Selena’s rise to international stardom in the early 1990s. The exhibition offers an intimate look at an artist whose talent, charisma and determination transformed Tejano music and helped redefine representation for Mexican American women in popular culture. The featured images have never been displayed together, giving new context to Dyer’s work with Selena.

More than a music icon, Selena was a groundbreaking Tejana whose story reflected the spirit of the American West itself: bold, resilient, entrepreneurial and deeply connected to culture and community. Like generations of Tejanos who helped shape Texas through perseverance, innovation and cultural pride, Selena forged her own path while carrying the traditions of her community forward. Her legacy continues to inspire new generations, embodying the pioneering spirit, creativity and determination that remain central to the story of the West.

“Selena’s story is deeply connected to the cultural pride and artistic expression that define Tejano identity,” said Jackson. “Her influence transcends music and continues to inspire audiences across generations, making her an important part of this broader cultural conversation. The exhibition shares an icon who demonstrates the lasting influence of Tejanos – and Tejanas – in Texas and beyond.

Tippin’ its hat and celebrating the legacy of the cowboy, cowgirl and vaquero, the Briscoe presents its annual National Day of the Cowboy celebration on Saturday, July 25, 10 a.m. – 4 p.m.

The free community event, which includes free admission to the museum, features indoor and outdoor activities across the museum’s River Walk campus for cowpokes of all ages to enjoy and explore the west.

This year’s celebration will shine a spotlight on the enduring legacy of the vaquero and the vital role vaqueros played in shaping the American West. From ranching and cattle drives to the art of roping, branding and horsemanship, vaqueros helped lay the foundation for today’s cowboy traditions and culture.

Held throughout the museum and in the scenic McNutt Sculpture Garden, National Day of the Vaquero / Día Nacional del Vaquero brings the West to life with music, art, storytelling and hands-on activities for visitors of all ages. Guests can enjoy cowboy and vaquero traditions including lasso demonstrations, crafts, cowboy poetry, chuckwagon treats and live Western music while celebrating the rich cultural heritage that continues to influence Texas and the West today.

Register for free, saddle up with your family and head west for a free day of fun you won’t forget!
