The featured photographers are:

Arturo Almeida, curator of the UTSA Art Collection
Calen Barnum, UTSA M.F.A. candidate

Artist and curator Raul Gonzalez has put together an exhibition that examines a variety of histories. Each artist has contributed bodies of work that provoke questions about nostalgia, personal experiences, city development and references to art history. The selected group includes both established and emerging artists in San Antonio. "Some Sort of History" is a reminder that each individual contributes to history in some way or form.

Viewing hours at 7 a.m.-7 p.m., Monday and Tuesday; 7 a.m.-9 p.m., Wednesday and Friday and 5:30-9 p.m., Saturday.
