One People, Many Paths: The 10th Annual Sacred Art of Altars Exhibit & Silent Auction
This month-long event is open to the public during regular business hours (11:00am - 11:00pm) at the Bijou Cinema, San Antonio's premiere art-house movie venue, located in Wonderland of the Americas (Crossroads Mall). There are 55 altars on display, handcrafted by some of San Antonio's most creative artists, including Bernice B. Appelin-Williams, Lyn Belisle, David Caris, Carolina Flores, Joan Frederick, Laurel Gibson, Jon Hinojosa, Deborah Keller-Rihn, Dale Jenssen, Jeannette MacDougall, Beverly Meyer, Susie Monday, Martha Prentiss, Thom Ricks, and Terry Ybanez, among others. Beginning with identical, raw pinewood boxes (10" x 20"), the artists used a variety of colorful paints, varied textures, glass, metal, fabric, ceramics and more to make works ranging from sublime to temporal, and from spiritual to satirical. No charge to view the art but you might want to stay for a movie!
