𝘚𝘦𝘭𝘧 is a group exhibition that reexamines video art at Artpace through the work of four alumni artists. Each artist investigates the complexities of identity through self-portraits, projections of the self, and the body as a means of self-representation. This exhibition explores both how individuals perceive themselves and how others might view them.

While each artist employs distinct strategies—whether through video performance, observation, reflection on physical change, or narrative experimentation—they are united in their examination of selfhood. Together, these works offer a multifaceted exploration of identity, inviting viewers to consider the many ways it is constructed, performed, and perceived.

Featured alumni artists include Alex Bag, Paul Pfieffer, Kang Seung Lee, and Anne Wallace.

🛶 The San Antonio River Authority and the San Antonio River Foundation invite you to the second stop of the 2026 Race the River series at the SASPAMCO Paddling Trail.
Take on a scenic and untamed stretch of river as you choose between the 6-mile amateur course or the 12-mile pro course. This endurance challenge brings paddlers together from across Texas for a test of grit, speed, and strategy.
All finishers will receive a commemorative patch, and we’ll celebrate your achievement with a post-race gathering and awards ceremony for top competitors.
Do you have what it takes? The adventure continues!

Antithesis in Contemporary Collage is an exhibition emphasizing high contrasts in paper collage, bricolage, and assemblage. Collage is an inherently versatile creative method, often using old and new source materials, with the ability to posture surreal environments by interruptions of scales, figures, spaces, and perspectives. In this exhibition, more intense contrasts are highlighted to elicit something even further, in the way of opposites, or relative extremes– aesthetically, conceptually, and curatorially. Sixteen local, regional, and national artists present antithetical notions of nostalgia, identity, comfort, chaos, destruction, sociology, beauty, and nature.
