New San Antonio Botanical Garden exhibition to showcase 12 artists’ work across its grounds

In celebration of its 45th anniversary, the San Antonio Botanical Garden is presenting “Reflections of Nature,” a group exhibition opening this Saturday that’s spread across the facility’s lush 38-acre grounds.

Produced and managed by Stuart Allen and Cade Bradshaw of the interdisciplinary art firm Bridge Projects, this juried exhibition pays homage to the region’s rich history of mural art — specifically, renowned Mexican creators such as Diego Rivera and José Clemente Orozco.

“Reflections of Nature” also celebrates the intersection of art and the natural world. Twelve regional artists — Lucas Aoki, Christin Apodaca, Kat Cadena, Rudy Herrara, Jennifer Khoshbin, Rhys Munro, Steve Parker, Chris Sauter, Kathy Sosa, Mitsumasa Overstreet, Holly Veselka and Tabria Williford — were commissioned to create murals in the broadest sense of the term.

Some of the works are traditional and painted on two-dimensional surfaces, while others push the boundaries of the medium, employing materials such as transparent window film (Munro), sculpture fabricated from brass instrument parts (Parker), painted benches (Khoshbin) and video projection (Veselka).

$18-$22 adults, $16-$20 military, $13-$15 children 3-13, $3 Museums for All (with SNAP or WIC EBT card and valid ID), 8 a.m.-6 p.m. Monday-Saturday, 8 a.m.-8 p.m. Sunday, San Antonio Botanical Garden, 555 Funston Place, (210) 536-1400, sabot.org.
