Isaac is an Emeritus member of Artpace’s Board of Directors and served on the board from 2004-2010. We are delighted to honor Isaac Julien and celebrate his life, art, and 27-year history with Artpace San Antonio.
Janet Flohr has been a friend to Artpace since its inception in 1995. She joined the Board of Directors in 2004 and served more than 15 years, receiving the lifetime honorary designation of Emeritus in January 2020. Janet has supported Artpace throughout and beyond her board tenure, giving generously to special events, exhibitions, programs, and special projects. This evening we will celebrate Janet’s vision, leadership, and dedication, which has guided us and profoundly impacted all aspects of our organization for over two decades.
