Vincent Valdez: A Primer

Over the past decade, Vincent Valdez has won critical favor with the art world. Maybe more importantly, he’s never forgotten his San Antonio roots. His inspiration pulls deeply from the experience of growing up on the southside of the Alamo city, as described by this short biographical sketch:

We are very proud to support Vincent’s latest work in an exhibition opening February 11, 2010. With underwriting from the Southwest School of Art & Craft Vincent will also be creating Recuerdo, a sequel to his 2007 film Burn.

The film will be ready just in time for Contemporary Art Month, and will premiere at a public event Saturday, March 6 at 7 pm. Members of the San Antonio Symphony will provide a short performance as an introduction to the film.
