WHAT: A captivating large-scale immersive art experience, Otherwild, will transform the San Antonio Botanical Garden this spring into a vibrant world where wonder takes root and the sky comes alive.

Debuting Saturday, March 7, the exhibition features colorful visionary installations by artist Patrick Shearn and his internationally renowned studio, Poetic Kinetics, which is recognized for large-scale public art that inspires awe, movement, and creative exploration.

Otherwild invites visitors to step into a whimsical, nature-inspired environment where art and landscape merge. The installation will unfold into two distinct parts:

● Flora Borealis - a custom Skynet installation of ultra-lightweight, kinetic elements that float with the breeze, contrasting the SABG’s natural landscape

● Enchanted Trees - a sculptural grove of ten imaginary species, each with its own personality, crafted from reflective, movement-responsive materials that interact with sunlight and wind.

Otherwild is included with standard admission. To learn more and purchase tickets, please visit www.sabgtx.org

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.
