This month, Ruby City will celebrate five years of dedication to San Antonio’s creative community.
The contemporary art center’s board and staff are inviting residents on Saturday, Oct. 121, to be their guests of honor for the occasion, which will feature Los Angeles-based artist Jeffrey Vallance.
In honor of founder Linda Pace’s obsession with the deep interpretation of dreams, the will celebration will include a workshop led by local creative writing coach Leigh Baldwin, sweets by micro-bakery Geranium Club, a champagne toast on the plaza, a performance by Mariachis Damas de Jalisco and, finally, a seance led by Vallance.
Known for blurring the lines between artist and curator, Vallance will host the seance in the form of an “artist spirit” panel, working with mediums to channel the spirits of three artists — Niki de Saint Phalle, Joan Mitchell and Linda Pace — for what he anticipates to be a lively discussion about art and artmaking in the great beyond.
A full schedule of the day’s events is on the Ruby City website and an RSVP is recommended for the seance.
Free, 4-9 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 12, Ruby City, 150 Camp St., (210) 227-8400, rubycity.org.
