Join us for the opening reception for Larry Graeber's exhibit Silent Drift.
In this exhibit, Larry Graeber has compiled paintings, sculpture
and works on paper depicting subjects of experiences and
encounters.
Resorting to beaches, deserts and the big skies of Texas as places
and friends and acquaintances as personalities. Graeber has sought

Likewise, the portraits not traditional character studies, but
momentary impressions, capturing transient qualities of specificity.

LITTLE CHILDREN: Sarah Pierce is a new stay-at-home mom struggling with the solitude of her new role. Spending every moment with a three year old tests the patience of the one-time English scholar. At a local playground, she interacts with a group of moms and the differences are clear. They embrace motherhood and seem to relish all that their new role brings. One day, Brad, a stay-at-home dad, brings his son to the playground. Sarah is amazed to find these moms have never talked to Brad and one of the women bets Sarah five dollars that she won't get his phone number.

Dissecting the Westside Sound
***Registration is required***
What is the Westside Sound? Born on San Antonio's West Side in the mid-1950s, this groundbreaking musical style blended influences and talent across communities to create a sound that would captivate audiences across the United States and Europe in the 1960s. But who were the pioneering musicians behind it? What made its signature blend of keyboards, saxophone, drums, and soulful rhythms so distinctive? And how was it revived decades later by one of Texas' most celebrated quartets?
Discover the answers in this special conversation moderated by Jose Arredondo featuring two Westside Sound pioneers—Grammy Award winner Sunny Ozuna of the Sunliners and Frank Rodarte of the Dell-Kings and Los Blues—along with Ramón Hernández, the historian who has documented the movement's remarkable legacy. Together, they'll explore the origins, evolution, and enduring impact of one of San Antonio's most influential musical traditions.
