Saturday, June 2, 6 pm- 9 pm: BrassTacks exhibit opening at G Gallery
- BrassTacks features an eclectic group of artists working in diverse disciplines who were selected for the exhibition “using a methodology not unlike a game of Duck, Duck, Goose. The initial idea was to establish a visual dialogue among three core artists from San Antonio. In turn, each of the core artists selected another artist for inclusion in the show and those artists selected yet another three artists to participate. Unfolding in an organic and expansive way, the resulting exhibition, rather than being dictated by a specific thematic direction, points more to the essential connections that these artists have with one another and the creative affinities each of them possess.” Sounds interesting, no?
- Featured artists include: Tommy Gregory, Megan Harrison, Rachel Ziegler, Justin Parr, Eric Taylor, Shiri Mordechay, Joseph Duarte, Clay McClure, and Willie Sanchez
- 301 E 11th St
