We would like to thank the National Endowment for the Arts and the Mid-America Arts Alliance for inviting us to Washington DC to meet fellow recipients of the Creative Forces Grant from across the country. Learning from each other, tackling the challenges we face, and coming home with new bright ideas is especially empowering. We were also inspired by all of the art and history of the various museums and monuments. It is truly special to see our San Antonio and South Texas culture on full display with objects from Flaco Jimenez, Selena, and KCOR radio, alongside Picasso, the Red Ruby Slippers, Siqueiros, and more.

Congratulations to Working Artist Fund recipient Kristina Salinas!

Congratulations to Kristina Salinas for winning the 2026 Best of CAM Peoples Choice Award on Saturday!

Kristina Salinas’ Cognizant Distance at the Central Library Gallery in downtown San Antonio presents a visual exploration of the space-both real and symbolic-between herself and her Mexican roots. Tracing her paternal lineage, Salinas journeys from San Antonio through Laredo to her ancestral home in Candela, Coahuila, collecting images that reflect her cultural identity. The exhibition title plays on "cognitive dissonance," highlighting the tension between her life as a contemporary artist and the traditions of her family. Through this work, Salinas invites viewers to consider what is lost and gained across generations, honoring the risks and complexities of immigrant heritage. On view through April 4, 2026.
