Between Yesterday and Tomorrow: Perspectives from Black Contemporary Artists of San Antonio showcases the multifaceted talents of Black artists in the greater San Antonio community. Our diverse Texas city is rich in creative expression. Through this exhibition, these local artists share their cultural and life experiences through their work. Contemporary art is made for the present time, and often speaks to ideas, concerns or experimentation of materials and methods. Artists were selected from across generations, bringing their voices together in the intimate space that is the City of San Antonio’s Culture Commons Gallery. The 17 artists presented in this exhibition are actively engaged in their artistic practices, and each brings their unique perspective; covering topics of Black history and identity, family dynamics, social connections, personal human experience, spirituality and resilience. The artworks include drawing, painting, photography, mixed media, digital media, assemblage, sculpture, and quilting. Their compositions are a cross section of reflective approaches to “the now” as expressed through their aesthetic, voice, and vision. -Curated by: Barbara Felix -Featured Artists: Carmen Cartiness Johnson, John Coleman, Kaldric Dow, Kwanzaa Edwards, Anthony Francis, Alain Boris Gakwaya, Deborah Harris, Edward Harris, Paul Hurd, Alethia Jones, Theresa Newsome, Wardell Picquet, Calvin Pressley, Don Stewart, Naomi Wanjiku, Angela Weddle, Bernice Appelin Williams -Where: Culture Commons is located in the Plaza de Armas Building at 115 Plaza De Armas, 78205

Inner emotions, intuition, and general life placement are the stems that Laurae Post’s work spring from. Her linework, symbolism, and textures invite viewers into a world that aims to provoke questions and thoughts. According to Post, “We are each on our own journey in life, as we learn about our true selves and individually grow with time.” Through her art, Post hopes to be a source of inspiration and guidance for others’ learning and self-realization.

With a timeless voice that outlasts any era and resounds louder with time, Haley Reinhart feels just as at home in the sixties as she does in the age of TikTok. With her signature sound that Entertainment Weekly lauds as being able to “flip from bell-clear coo to throaty belt in an instant,” Haley’s music pays homage to classic Rock and Pop hits from the late sixties. The gold-certified Chicago-born/Los Angeles-based singer and songwriter exudes an empowering level of charisma and confidence earned by a quiet, decade-long grind
After placing third on season 10 of American Idol, Haley has become a sought-after talent, collaborating regularly with Postmodern Jukebox and is featured on their highest viewed videos on YouTube with over 300 million views. Haley has also dueted with legendary star Jeff Goldblum on two tracks from his chart-topping jazz standards collection, The Capitol Studios Sessions. Haley has released four albums of her own.

Event Details
Wardell Picquet likes dealing with color, pattern, texture, shape, contrast, abstraction, and the overwhelming magnificence of the human form. While still on a personal quest to blend all of these elements into a cohesive and aesthetic whole, conceptually, he is becoming more concerned with the idea of relationships in the human experience.
Alethia Jones’ work primarily focuses on spirituality, mental illness, and lucid dreams. Inspired by her Christian faith, her sole objective is to connect her audience to glimpses of God’s glory. Indigenous and other non-Western influences abound throughout her work, challenging traditional notions of God’s character and appearance.

Eli Paperboy Reed and Harlem Gospel Travelers have been working together for close to a decade, starting when the younger Travelers were students of Reed’s foundation in Harlem. Reed’s soulful style may have inspired the Travelers at first, but now, in this winner-take-all matchup, audiences will find out if the students can beat the teacher at his own game! Reed’s combination of powerful soulful vocals, heart-stopping falsetto and strong pop sensibility as a songwriter merge in perfect harmony with the Harlem Gospel Travelers, who draw deeply on the gospel quartet tradition of the ’50s and ’60s, but with a distinctly modern edge.
The Travelers are young guns and still on their way up, coming off their critically acclaimed, award-winning album Look Up!. Reed, with eight albums under his belt, most recently the funky Merle Haggard tribute, Down Every Road is the elder statesman here. Don’t let his age fool you, though, as an entertainer he’s still at the top of his game.
Both Reed and The Travelers will perform back-to-back sets, culminating in a joint, spirit-shaking, roof-raising encore.
