San Antonio’s Centro de Artes Celebrates 10 Years with "Mercado/Material"
Curated by Mia Lopez, 16 artists transform everyday objects into bold explorations of Latinx identity. On view in San Antonio from October 16 through March 7, 2027.
San Antonio's Centro de Artes unveils its tenth-anniversary exhibition, Mercado/Material, showcasing the work of 16 artists exploring Latinx cultural identity and consumerism. The free gallery installation runs from October 16 through March 7, 2027, featuring vibrant imagery, popular culture, and iconic forms of Latinx visual culture.
From screen prints of fruit cups to monumental piñata sculptures, the pieces engage viewers with themes of belonging, labor, and commerce inspired by markets in San Antonio, Chicago, Mexico, and New York bodegas. Founded in 2017, Centro de Artes has become San Antonio's premier Latinx-focused gallery, welcoming over 33,000 visitors annually to its adaptive-reuse landmark and exhibiting more than 3,100 artworks by 600 artists.
