From the organizers:
“60+ artist crafted altars of the same shape & size exhibit the common threads of our creativity & our humanity
This powerful exhibit features a dazzling display of contrasts in variety as well a beautiful underlying unity. Each piece has an identical shape and size (12” x 16”) while each shrine exhibits its own uniqueness in an eye-popping array of colors and media, including paint, wax, glass, metal, fabric, ceramics and more. And the subject matter ranges from sublime to temporal, and from spiritual to satirical. This marks the 18th year that this successful, wide-ranging exhibit has been held.
This exhibit is a reflection of the growing embrace of “nichos” or small, personalized shrines, in the popular culture of the Southwest. This artistry has long been an integral part of San Antonio’s spiritual heritage. But altars are becoming increasingly evident in secular settings such as art galleries, museums, homes and businesses alike.
Over 60 of our community’s most creative artists (listed below) have created and donated their work for this exhibit and silent auction. Proceeds benefit the Celebration Circle of San Antonio, a 501 (c)(3) interfaith community whose creative, inclusive approach to spirituality is perfectly embodied in this exhibition.
This 2022 exhibit and auction is a hybrid event beginning with a Meet The Artists Reception where bidding begins on Thursday, September 1 from 5:00 – 8:00 pm CT and continues through the In-Person Closing Reception to be held Thursday, September 15 from 5:00 – 8:00 pm CT at the San Antonio Art League Museum, 130 King William St, 78204.”
