No mention of one of San Antonio’s biggest art events of the year LUMINARIA 2014, a 2 day event showcasing over 60 visual artists (from SA and worldwide) and umpteen musician, dance and performance artists… and you say NOTHING about it? Normally I like learning about new art but you have definitely dropped the ball on this one…

It’s the last week of the Vincent Falsetta show at the Conduit Gallery here in Dallas. Vincent’s work just keeps getting better. He has some wonderful negative space and a new palette in this body of work.
