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.
Schedule:
- 6:30-7:15 p.m. Artist Film Screening
- Shape of the Universe, Kandariya Mahadeva: Chris Sauter
- The Only Certain Way: Faith: Joe Harjo
- Continent: Jenelle Esparza
- Enter the Dragon: Jennifer Ling Datchuk
- O1701: Jon Lee
- Ghosts of the Old Mississippi: Dismal Swamp/Northern Lights: Liz Ward
- Itoonyero - Entrances: Naomi Wanjiku Gakunga
- 7:15-8:00 p.m. Gallery Viewing
