*POSTPONED* Mystic Toolkit Opening Reception

6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Hudson Showroom

*Due to the rising number of COVID-19 cases in San Antonio, Artpace has postponed this event until further notice.*

Our next Hudson Showroom exhibition, Mystic Toolkit, will take a look at the recent resurgence of esoteric practices such as magic, tarot reading, numerology and astrology in contemporary popular culture. This renascent movement carried by millennials informs the practice of today’s working creatives.

The opening reception is free and open to the public and free parking is available at 513 N Flores St.
