unbound
Contemporary Art Month – San Antonio
Laredo Center for the Arts

The Laredo Center for the Arts is proud to present unbound as part of Contemporary Art Month San Antonio. This dynamic group exhibition brings together a diverse roster of artists whose work explores identity, memory, culture, and transformation through bold visual language and material experimentation.

Featuring Audrya Flores, Barbara Felix, Crystal Rocha, David Alcantar, Michelle Hernandez, and Lu Farrell, unbound highlights a range of practices from painting and sculpture to mixed media each offering a distinct perspective while collectively creating a vibrant dialogue about contemporary life and creative expression in our region.

Curated by Roberta “Nina” Hassele, Executive Director of CAM, the exhibition reflects the spirit of connection and artistic exchange that defines Contemporary Art Month. Through layered narratives, personal symbolism, and imaginative form, unbound invites viewers to reflect on movement into spaces, into identity, and into new ways of seeing.

Join us for the opening reception on March 6th from 6–9 PM, with an artist talk by Michelle Hernandez on March 14th from 2–3 PM. The exhibition will remain on view through May 1st.

We welcome the community to experience this compelling celebration of contemporary art.
