Please join us for the official CAM kick-off openings and party tonight March 4 at Blue Star! Amalgamations 25: 28 Artists for 25 Great Years opens both tonight and tomorrow night March 5 at Blue Star from 6-9pm, along with many great shows in the many exceptional galleries in the complex. Check out Hills Snyder at Three Walls, Anita Valencia at Cactus Bra, Gary Wise at UTSA Satellite Space, and Marcy McChesney at Stella Haus, among many others! Ertan Torgul will be performing Phillip Glass's Strung Out at 6pm at Blue Star. Be there or be blue!

We just posted the details of our collaboration with the San Antonio Symphony. Throughout March, Symphony performers will give solo and small ensemble performances in contemporary art spaces all over the city. Click the "Symphony" tab above for more information.

The Contemporary Art Month Open Studio event is back!  Check the CAM Open Studios page to see the list of artists who will be opening their studios to the public, from 10 am to 4 pm on Sunday, March 7. Visitors will get to see work by the artists, finished and in-progress, and engage in discussion.  It's like a free backstage pass, letting you see how the art you like is made and giving you direct access to some of city's top creative talents.  More information about participating artists, as well as maps to their studios are available on the CAM Open Studios page.  Go there and plan your very own tour.

If you are an artist and you'd like to join in, and open your studio to the masses, it's not too late.  Click here to add your studio to the list.  There is no fee.

This weekend, Bihl Haus Arts is organizing the 3rd annual On and Off Fredricksburg Road Studio Tour in the Deco District. Over fifty artists will have their studios open on Saturday and Sunday, and there will be a special exhibit featuring all the artists tonight at Bihl Haus Arts. This is a great opportunity to see what goes on behind the scenes and discuss the artists' work and process. Click the link above to see all the artists involved and get more details.

There will also be another studio tour organized by CAM on March 7. This is a much looser project: we just gave the artists a date and they let us know who was interested. Unlike On and Off Fredricksburg Road, there's no catalog, no special exhibit, just a bunch of artists opening up their studios. See the list of studios here.

The Southwest School of Art and Craft has a slew of openings tonight (click the link to see all their listings), with artists like Vincent Valdez, Louis Vega Treviño, and Bruce Metcalf. These exhibits will be on view throughout CAM, along with a number of cool shows at other venues that will open in February or even January. Click the "Ongoing" tab above to see which exhibits on the calendar have already opened.
