Walley Films: San Antonio Artists Film Screening

SOLD OUT

In 2020, the San Antonio Museum of Art launched an initiative to support the city’s visual artists by acquiring works for its collection, aiming to reflect the vibrancy of our community and its rich cultural landscape. Informed by recommendations from a community Advisory Committee, nine artworks by eight San Antonio-based artists were chosen—all first entries by the artists to SAMA’s collection. In conjunction with this collective effort, SAMA has commissioned artist films by Walley Films. During this film screening program, you will hear from the filmmakers and then venture to the exhibition to view the works.
