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.

Ruby City presents MASS, an immersive, two-hour performance by AM Project that transforms Chris Park into a shared space of sound, movement, and reflection. Blending music, dance, spoken word, and multimedia elements, MASS invites audiences into a multi-sensory experience inspired by spiritual and cultural traditions.

This iteration of MASS is centered on the theme of “A Mother’s Love,” drawing from both the enduring relationship between Ruby City founder Linda Pace and her son, Chris, and the broader idea of nature as a nurturing, connective force. As a space created in his memory, Chris Park becomes the foundation for a performance that considers care, remembrance, and the ways love shapes our shared environments.

Audiences are invited to move through the park as the experience unfolds, encountering moments of sound, light, and movement that encourage pause, contemplation, and connection. The evening culminates in a central gathering that brings together local artists and performers in a dynamic expression of community and collective presence.

Presented in advance of the anniversary of Chris Park, MASS offers a space to reflect on the park’s origins and its continued role as a site for connection, healing, and shared experience
