San Antonio's cultural scene is bustling with activities this weekend, catering to a diverse array of interests – from art exhibitions to ancient civilizations, Western heritage, and even a dash of cult film nostalgia. For those with an inclination for contemporary art, Period Modern furniture store is rolling out the red carpet for art aficionados on Thursday with its "Shape Theory" show, as reported by the San Antonio Report. Taking place from 6 to 8 p.m., the exhibit spotlights the creations of six locally-celebrated San Antonio artists including Norman Avila and Rome Azzaro.
Step into the past on Friday with "Mythic Mingle" at the San Antonio Museum of Art – a soirée draped in the allure of ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome. Offering more than just a visual feast, attendees can get their hands dirty learning hieroglyphics. Membership or the price of museum admission will grant entry from 5 to 7 p.m., where one can savor the Mediterranean flair courtesy of MalDonado’s Grill and indulge in the libations from Postino. As ancient mythology once again captivates modern-day San Antonio, the event promises to be more than merely a tribute to the relics of yore.
Come Saturday, head over to the Briscoe Western Art Museum’s National Day of the Cowboy brouhaha. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., the museum celebrates the iconography of the cowboy with chuck wagon demonstrations, lasso twirls, and a look at stunning escaramuza dresses. "Yeehaw!!!!" says the promotion of the event.
As the weekend progresses, the quirkier side of entertainment beckons with the Wonderland of the Americas' special screening of "Killer Klowns from Outer Space." The cult movie phenomenon turns the convention scene into an otherworldly spectacle, complete with the esteemed Chiodo Brothers in attendance, as detailed by the San Antonio Report. Die-hard fans can catch the celluloid action on Saturday at 11 a.m. or Sunday at 6 p.m., with a promise of vendor delights and the thrill of a costume contest adding to the extraterrestrial ambiance.
