It was three years in the making. Local artist Elizabeth Rodriguez’s "Las Mera Meras" painting was part of her exhibit originally scheduled to be on display at the UIW Kelso Art Center’s Semmes and Condos Galleries in Spring 2020. Now, the UIW and San Antonio communities can see her work Monday-Friday from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. until Feb. 10. Admission to the Semmes and Condos Galleries is free.
Students in and around the San Antonio area looking for college courses in film do not have to look far; the University of the Incarnate Word now offers a Film concentration option as part of its Bachelor of Arts in Communication Arts degree program. The program blends theory-driven and experience-based classes to prepare students to work in the field of film production.
Billions of people around the world celebrate Lunar New Year, a holiday that was originally utilized as a time to honor families and host religious ceremonies. Also referred to as Chinese or Asian New Year, the holiday is a special time for gathering with family and friends to feast and celebrate festivities. UIW has a long history of celebrating Asian New Year, and this year was no different as it hosted a variety of events from Jan. 23-27.
