Following on last year's successful closing event, Contemporary Art Month is once again working with Linda Pace Foundation to wind up the month with a memorable evening in Chrispark. The event takes place on Friday, March 25, 7pm - 11pm, with an exhibition of works from the collection of Linda Pace Foundation, an awards ceremony, live music, locally brewed craft beer, vodka punch, and food by El Tacomiendo.

From 7 to 9 pm, the Linda Pace Foundation offices will be open to visitors, with an exhibit of work from the foundation's collection specially organized for the event. This collection is generally considered to be among the finest in Texas, with works from many internationally-renowned artists, including a number of San Antonio-based artists and former Artpace residents.

Austin's Athens v Sparta will open the evening with a pop-opera history of the Peloponnesian War starting at 7 pm. Following this unique performance, Los Mescaleros will get the dance floor going with their gypsy-tango-blues hybrid. The awards ceremony will then commence, in an updated, completely democratic format: votes for 8 award categories collected through the CAM website will be announced, and winners will receive certificates designed by Beto Gonzales. Finally, the evening will close with a high-energy performance by De Los Muertos, an engaging, seamless blend of country, punk, and goth. 

Craft beer will be generously provided by San Antonio brew pub Freetail Brewery, alongside Enchanted Rock vodka punch thanks to Republic National Distributors. $15 admission will allow guests one complementary trip to the taco truck in addition to the open bar.
