Exhibitions & Events
To extend the reach of its exhibitions, the Contemporary presents a variety of complementary programs: Open Studios, a film series which goes behind the scenes at artists’ studios; the Art Education Lab, which offers hands-on programming and education content; and outreach events including workshops, artist talks, panel discussions, and film screenings.
Past Events
"As Far As The Eye Can See" installation by Mila Hundertmark. The artist was based in Darmstadt, Germany and selected for exhibition to collaborate with artists from San Antonio's new Sister City in 2018.
