Arts & Culture
Appelin-Williams’ work has been widely exhibited in San Antonio, Austin and beyond. The list of group and solo shows she’s been in is two and a half pages long, including a show in Kenya. With a keen interest in public art, Appelin-Williams has also served on several municipal committees and review boards in charge of public art, as well as created sculptures that adorn several local public spaces.
From festive concerts and ballet spectaculars to theme-park celebrations and artsy shopping, the city will be awash with holiday offerings for all tastes and budgets.
After the relative summer lull, the arts and entertainment scene roars back into full swing in the fall.
With a slogan “Building character on stage and beyond,” Stone Oak Youth Theater owner and staff explain on the website that they believe in building both the students’ talents and their character: “We love seeing our students grow to be better singers, dancers, actors and performers, but more than anything we want SOYT students to be hard-working, team-oriented and strong members of their community.”
The best way to escape the heat and have some fun at the same time is to sample some of the cool arts offerings around town. Literally cool, as in air-conditioned, and cool-exciting, cool-wonderful, cool-cool … you get the idea.
As the Institute of Texan Cultures approaches a major milestone this month, the 40th anniversary of the Texas Folklife Festival, Jo Ann is reaching her own milestone: over 25 years as director of this monumental event, the largest cultural celebration in Texas, and she isn’t slowing down.
With its new, expanded premises, christened the Entre Flamenco Dance Space, the organization not only has room for larger classes now, it can also stage shows under its own roof.
She agreed to serve as curator for Magnetic Fields, a show opening March 10 as the Southwest School of Art’s contribution to Contemporary Art Month.
At the recent fundraiser for the San Antonio Opera (SAO), a good part of the entertainment was provided by five young women who collectively call themselves Stiletto.
