Entrance to the museum was free and although the collection was small, it was colorful, interesting, and full of personality. We browsed the gallery and took pics, note: no flash photography. Directly across the street was the beautiful, well manicured Chris Park. Carefully placed concrete art benches with meaningful engraved messages were scattered throughout the park. There's also a sweet covered picnic area to relax or have a small party. Peaceful and a nice retreat. A small art building resides in the park containing a gallery of a particular artist. We thoroughly enjoyed the colorful exhibit. Forgot to mention there's an outdoor sculpture garden next to Ruby City. Super cool! Must check out. Highly recommend this place for art lovers !

There is a public parking lot down from the museum on the corner of West Market Street and South Alamo Street. One may think, why go to a Western museum, but it's more than just Western information. This museum tells the story of how Texas became Texas. The various tidbits of information were just great, like who knew that in New Spain, Franciscan friars were the first missionaries playing a huge role in evangelizing. If you're even a little curious about how Catholicism plays a role in history, this museum answers those questions and offers insight. They also have an area for Selena. I thought there would be more info about her in that area, but I definitely loved seeing photos from the photographer's own collection. The museum is definitely worth checking out! They also have information for free field trips and various community days with additional activities. The staff to include the security is very knowledgeable about the museum as well.

Dan has lots of beautiful, complicated constructions around the studio. He shows students how to build shapes from the simple to the complex and explains the vocabulary through question-and-answer discussion. The geometry lessons are interwoven with tidbits about thinkers like Albert Einstein, Leonardo da Vinci, and Johannes Kepler, plus puns and jokes. It's a fast-moving feast for curious minds. To set up a workshop, call Dan -- the museum is open by appointment. It's free, but he accepts donations in person and through Fractured Atlas.

Their popularity is a result of people searching for peaceful outlets to indulge their creative endeavors. Corazones on Fire, "Painting with a Cultural Edge" is an amazing art space in the Deco District that recognizes our need for us to connect artistically. It is located right across the street from Pancake Joe's on Donaldson Street. The space itself is quite charming with a colorful lighting that makes you feel welcome. Deborah Kuetzpal Vasquez, a visual arts professor at Our Lady of the Lake and Bianca Sapet both owners welcome you also and lead you through the process. A painting area is designated for you with all the necessary items that you will use for the night: easel, an apron, paints, brushes, cleaning glass and of course a canvas with a stenciled graphic of the evenings theme. I must confess my painting skills are to a minimal. Rembrandt, Picasso I certainly am not. However Deborah noticing my initial nervousness came up to my table and said, "You'll do just fine." As you are taken through the painting project all your senses are being engaged. One thing that I really appreciated was the excellent playlist playing throughout the night. Music by Malo, Juan Gabriel, Julieta Venegas, The Cardigans and even an impromptu song by Bianca made the experience even more memorable. Another detail I liked were the historical art lessons you are given while painting. For example it was interesting to learn that Pre-Columbian Civilization used natural occurrences to explain human behaviors. Thus the evenings themed piece of the Huitzil Hummingbird and the Xochitl Flower wasn't really about a bird nor a flower but was a metaphor for "mating." I would be remiss if I didn't include that it is BYOB. Other patrons brought wine, some sort of liquor and snacks. But after a few of my trusty beers the paint brush was feeling mighty limber and loose. All and all I had a memorable experience. Professor Vasquez is an amazing instructor who walks you through every step, from start to finish. She is very patient but encourages you to find your own artistic voice. This place is perfect for novice painters like me, would be awesome for a date night or for the person who just wants to reconnect creatively in a relaxed atmosphere. ps. At the end of night you take a group picture with your painting. Lucky for me I hid in the back to cover up my artistic shortcomings.
