‘Modern Prometheus Unbound (remix)’ by Ricky Armendariz
This year, Glasstire’s fundraiser is celebrating the artists and institutions that make San Antonio a hub for creativity in Texas. From smaller, artist-run spaces like Fl!ght Gallery and Sala Diaz, to museums like the San Antonio Museum of Art and the McNay, the city is always abuzz with strong individuals letting their voices be heard.
The 2019 Glasstire Party is scheduled for January 18 at The Space HTX, a new event space on Commerce Street in Houston’s East End, but you can preview the art auction at Sloan/Hall in Houston (2620 Westheimer Rd) from 2-8 pm on Wednesday, January 9, with drinks and bites from 6-8 pm. Featuring a selection of works from the auction, this is your chance to see some of the pieces Glasstire handpicked to bring to Houston.
