Luminaria’s Pop-Up Art Gallery at the Aiden- A Celebration of Culture
Luminaria presents its next Pop Up Art Gallery show, A Celebration of Culture, in honor of “Juneteenth” at The Aiden San Antonio Riverwalk on Thursday, June 19! This exhibition showcases the vibrant works of local Black artists.
A Celebration of Culture is co-curated by Andrea V Rivas, Luminaria Fine Art Curator; and Kaldric Dow, Guest Curator. Dow is best known for his sculpture Spheres of Reflection, an homage to African American culture and Martin Luther King Jr. Dow has participated as a Featured Artist in the Luminaria Contemporary Arts Festival as recently as 2024.
Featured artists include Kaldric Dow, Kwanzaa Edwards, Ohso Fabone, Barbara Felix, Deborah A. Harris, Josiah Harris, Theresa Newsome, Katlyn Powell, and Angela Weddle, each offering a compelling narrative through their art!
“My work celebrates the rich diversity and individuality of African Americans through the use of textile-inspired paper patterns and variations in skin tone. Through portraiture,” said Dow. “I aim to highlight the shared humanity that connects us all, while also honoring the unique beauty found in every individual.”
Join us in celebrating this rich cultural experience, open 24/7 and free to the public from June 12- July 11, 2025. Don’t miss out on the chance to enjoy the full bar and jazz nights at No Vacancy, too (reserve here: https://www.novacancysa.com/). The Opening Night reception will take place on Thursday, June 19, 2025, 6:00-8:00 pm. The Pop Up Gallery will rotate every month, so there’s always something new to discover!
