Calendar

Join the San Antonio Missions National Historical Park and the Briscoe Western Art Museum for another edition of Quarantine Date Night! On Friday, September 4th at 6pm, begin Labor Day weekend with a virtual visit to the museum. Artist Gladys Roldan-de-Moras, National Park Ranger Tatum Weeks, and Briscoe Western Art Museum Curator of Education Ryan Badger will discuss Gladys’ beautiful paintings of the missions at this live online event. Gladys Roldan-de-Moras is a local artist inspired by her Latin culture and San Antonio landmarks. “I love to paint the missions.” Gladys explained, “I could spend my whole life painting the landmarks of San Antonio, and I would never be finished.”

Join the Briscoe Book Club for discussion in an academic and social gathering as we explore great works of poetry, fiction, and non-fiction inspired by the vast and varied experiences of the American West. We will discuss a new book each quarter. Books are available for purchase in person or online from the Museum Store, or you can reserve copies for check out through the San Antonio Public Library system prior to each meeting.

Georgia, A Novel of Georgia O’Keeffe is a captivating and beautiful telling of the life of artist Georgia O’Keefe. Dawn Tripp’s work of historical fiction breathes life into a coming of age narrative that details the joys and sorrows of the artist, her famous life, and her romance with photographer, Alfred Stieglitz. Tripp’s writing is exquisite and sensual as O’Keefe’s paintings.

With nearly 60 artworks of present-day Chickasaw painters, potters, sculptors, metalsmiths and weavers, this exhibition conveys a beautiful and compelling contemporary visual story. From oil and watercolor to textiles and metals, glass, bronze and other materials, the artworks of 15 featured Chickasaw artists in this exhibition are unique, intrinsically Southeast in design and distinctive among today’s contemporary tribal artists.
