Celebration Circle will present "Sacred Art of Altars: One People Many Paths," featuring more than 60 artist-crafted altars of the same shape and size which highlights the common threads of humanity.

The exhibit features a display of contrasts in variety as well as a beautiful underlying unity. Each piece has an identical shape and size (12" wide x 14" tall) while each shrine exhibits its own uniqueness in an eye-popping array of colors and media, including paint, wax, glass, metal, fabric, ceramics, and more. The subject matter ranges from sublime to temporal, and from spiritual to satirical.

The exhibit is an embrace of "nichos" or small, personalized shrines, common in the popular culture of the Southwest and abroad. This artistry has long been an integral part of San Antonio’s spiritual heritage, and altars are increasingly evident in secular settings such as galleries, museums, homes, and businesses.

Following the opening reception, the exhibit will be on display through September 13.
