SAN ANTONIO — For 70 years, the McNay Art Museum has engaged a diverse community in the discovery and enjoyment of the visual arts. Today, the McNay begins a year-long celebration honoring its history as well as its founder, Marion Koogler McNay (February 7, 1883–April 12, 1950). Throughout 2024, the museum will invite the public to join in commemorating the museum’s legacy of transformational art experiences through an array of events, programs, storytelling, and activations.

“Throughout our 70-year history, the McNay has brought the very best of modern and contemporary art to San Antonio, beginning with its founding collection: the bequest from Marion Koogler McNay,” said Matthew McLendon, director and CEO of the McNay. “This special milestone year is a moment to reflect on our legacy as the first dedicated modern art museum in Texas and to look ahead at the extraordinary possibilities for learning, innovation, and impact.”

Built in the late 1920s by Marion McNay, the distinctive residence became the site of Texas’s first modern art museum when it opened in 1954. Since Marion McNay’s bequest of 700 works of art, along with her house, surrounding 23 acres, and an endowment to establish the museum, the McNay has broadened its program offerings, grown its collection, and expanded its spaces.

The collection has expanded to well over 20,000 works, including Medieval and Renaissance art; 19th- through 21st- century European and American paintings, sculptures, and photographs; one of the finest collections of prints and drawings in the Southwest; the exceptional Tobin Collection of Theatre Arts; Jeanne and Irving Mathews Collection of Art Glass; and art of New Mexico. In 2008, the McNay opened the 45,000-square-foot Jane & Arthur Stieren Center for Exhibitions to expand the museum’s special exhibitions program and to showcase the collection without interruption in the main collection galleries.

Today, visitors enjoy works by modern and contemporary artists Deborah Butterfield, Margarita Cabrera, Paul Gauguin, Vanessa German, Vincent van Gogh, Edward Hopper, Joan Mitchell, Alice Neel, Georgia O’Keeffe, Pablo Picasso, Jackson Pollock, Pierre Auguste Renoir, Deborah Roberts, and more. The 25 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds include sculptures by Willie Cole, Robert Indiana, Luis A. Jiménez Jr., Alejandro Martín, George Rickey, Joel Shapiro, Kiki Smith, Tom Wesselmann, and Alice Aycock.

To mark the 70th anniversary, a year-long celebration kicks off in February with Founder’s Day, taking place on February 8, in honor of Marion McNay’s birthday that week (February 7, 1883). The day’s programs will be centered on Marion McNay—the artist, educator, and collector—and will include Architecture Tour of the McNay Residence, Marion’s Art: Watercolor Painting Workshop, and Marion’s Collecting and Beyond Talk. The community will also have an opportunity to share a significant McNay experience to be part of the new video series, McNay Stories. Founder’s Day runs from 10:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. The event is free for members. Not-yet-members may purchase General Admission and Founder’s Day tickets in advance. Free admission begins at 4:00 p.m.

The McNay’s 70th Anniversary Gala will take place on February 28 and will celebrate the opening of the exhibition, de la Torre Brothers: Upward Mobility. 70th Anniversary Committee Members include: (Founders Level) Emma and Toby Calvert & The F.B. Doane Foundation; Lou Celia and Don Frost; Marie Halff; Jane Stieren Lacy; Connie McCombs McNab & McCombs Foundation; Cynthia and Forrest Miller; Pat and Tom Semmes; The Tobin Endowment & J. Bruce Bugg Jr.; and (Artist Level) Carla and John Brozovich; Caroline and William Carrington; Frost Bank; Joanie and JR Hurd; L.D. Ormsby Charitable Foundation, Inc.; Barbie and Toby O’Connor; Carolyn and Allan Paterson; Corinna and JB Richter.

On March 28, The Tobin Distinguished Lecture featuring Dr. Caroline Hamilton will serve as a prologue to the upcoming exhibition, Women of the Ballets Russes (October 10, 2024 – January 12, 2025), which is focused on the dazzling creative contributions of women.

In the fall, the anniversary will culminate in November with a month-long series of events celebrating the opening month of the museum in 1954. The McNay will open its doors to the community for workshops, talks, 1954 film screenings, and an opportunity to share a personal McNay story, bringing together rich programming and perspectives to imagine what’s possible in the decades to come.

Coinciding with the museum’s 70th anniversary, related milestone celebrations include the 40th anniversary of the Tobin Wing; the 90th birthday anniversary of the late Robert L. B. Tobin, namesake of the Tobin Collection of Theatre Arts; and the 60th anniversary of the McNay’s docent program.

Jenelle Esparza, Head of Education; Katy Silva León, Head of Development; and Yolanda Urrabazo, Head of Communications & Marketing, bring strong strategic vision to departments

SAN ANTONIO — The McNay Art Museum appointed three new heads this year to lead departments across different areas, including Jenelle Esparza, head of education; Kathleen (Katy) Silva León, head of development; and Yolanda Urrabazo, head of communications and marketing.

“I am thrilled to welcome Jenelle, Katy, and Yolanda as the newest members of our leadership team,” said Matthew McLendon, director and CEO of the McNay. “In addition to their shared passion to impact lives through transformational art experiences, they each bring outstanding expertise, energy, and optimism that will take our strategic vision to new heights.”

Jenelle Esparza

Jenelle Esparza was appointed as the new head of education in Apr. 2023, having served as interim head since Jan. 2023. As an educator and interdisciplinary artist from South Texas, Esparza brings a unique perspective and lived experience to this role.

Esparza began her career in art education in 2012, with a special focus on arts workshops, lectures, research projects, and presentations. She joined the McNay Art Museum in 2016 as a museum educator, where she was instrumental in engaging diverse communities with innovative programs and quickly established herself as an invaluable asset to the Museum.

As an artist, Esparza examines the lesser-known history of cotton and labor in South Texas and explores the parallelism between landscapes and human bodies as organisms that record experiences through the environments and events that shape us. Her work has been exhibited in institutions such as the DePaul Art Museum (Chicago), Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art (Bentonville), and Artpace (San Antonio).

“My practice as a conceptual artist combined with my career in art education uniquely position me to offer transformational art experiences from a creative lens,” Esparza said. “I’m excited to continue to grow with the McNay to elevate our educational programming and explore the possibilities of what museum education can be.”

Esparza was born and raised in Corpus Christi, Texas. She received her B.F.A. in Photography in 2010 from University of Texas at San Antonio.

Katy Silva León

Katy Silva León was appointed as the head of development in Apr. 2023, having served as interim head since Sept. 2022. In her role, she is charged with fundraising for art exhibitions and educational programs and expanding access to the arts in San Antonio and beyond.

Silva León previously served in development roles at local nonprofits, including San Antonio Report as director of development, Guadalupe Cultural Arts Center as director of marketing and communications, and Tobin Center for the Performing Arts as marketing coordinator. Her recent community involvement includes board service for the American Marketing Association San Antonio Chapter and Artist Foundation San Antonio, which is now part of the Luminaria Festival. She also served as an artist liaison at the Blue Star Arts Complex alongside running a studio practice at Flax Studio.

She believes that art should be inclusive and accessible to all and has the power to heal, inspire, and connect.

“San Antonio is a warm and welcoming community, and I am grateful to work with some of the most generous individuals and organizations who care deeply about not just the Museum but the future of San Antonio as a diverse and culturally rich place to live, work, and visit,” Silva León said. “My team and I will continue on our journey to make the McNay a place of beauty and belonging for all.”

She lives in downtown San Antonio, where she enjoys painting in her studio and participating in the First Friday Art Walks. She enjoys running and cycling along the Riverwalk with her husband Juan and dog Cosmo. She received a B.A. in Studio Art with a minor in Art History from Trinity University.

Yolanda Urrabazo

Yolanda Urrabazo was appointed as head of communications and marketing in Sept. 2023. She comes to the McNay with 15 years of communications experience at various organizations, including UT’s McCombs School of Business as director of communications; The New School as director of communications, alumni engagement; the Fashion Institute of Technology as communications manager, alumni relations; as well as GQ and Stella McCartney as a graduate studies intern. Prior to her time in New York City, she served as press secretary for Congressman Henry Cuellar (TX-28) in Washington, D.C.

“I am honored and excited to join the McNay’s extraordinary community,” Urrabazo said. “The Museum’s mission to impact lives through the power of art and to be a place of belonging aligns squarely with my values.”

She aims to expand and engage audiences in new ways by illuminating the life of the Museum and the rich history that has set the McNay apart since its founding in 1954.

“As we approach our 70-year anniversary in 2024, I look forward to elevating important voices and stories that underscore the mission of our visionary founder, Marion Koogler McNay,” she said. “I take great pride in being in a position to expose a new generation of Texans and visitors to the McNay’s world-class collection that ignited my imagination at a young age.”

She holds a B.A. in English from The University of Texas at Austin and an M.A. in Media, Culture, and Communication from New York University.

SAN ANTONIO — Collaborating brothers Einar and Jamex de la Torre will make their San Antonio solo exhibition debut next year with “de la Torre Brothers: Upward Mobility,” on view at the McNay Art Museum March 1-Sept. 15, 2024. The mixed media works on display will feature the brothers’ signature style that combines blown glass sculpture, lenticular prints, video, installation and other materials and techniques in unexpected ways.

“Concepts of identity are really important in our work,” said Einar de la Torre. “We are questioning what it means to be American and what it means to be Mexican and hopefully opening doors to the complexities of the immigrant experience and contradicting bicultural identities.”

The de la Torre brothers live and work on both sides of the border in the Guadalupe Valley in Baja California, Mexico and San Diego, California. A shared interest in blown glass sparked their partnership and the two have been creating together since the 1990s. Their baroque sensibility incorporates vivid color, layered textures and intricate details. The duo takes an additive approach to their art across genres, often exploring ideas about life and the afterlife and merging cultural symbols in amusing ways to envision potential futures for humankind. The exhibition will include existing and new works representing a multifaceted view of life with a sense of playful irony.

“Much like the de la Torre brothers’ lenticular works, which change depending on one’s viewpoint, we hope this exhibition resonates with the unique perspectives of the San Antonio community,” said Matthew McLendon, director and CEO of the McNay. “The McNay is committed to reflecting local identity and increasing the visibility of diverse artists through our exhibition programming.”

The presentation at the McNay will be organized into four thematic sections. The introductory gallery acquaints visitors with artworks in mediums the brothers are most known for — handblown glass sculptures and lenticular photographs — including several sculptures created especially for the exhibition.

Incorporating furniture, wallpaper, dishware and other functional objects, the next space will surround guests in an immersive domestic setting. The centerpiece of the room will be a fantastical banquet table spanning over 20 feet and featuring vibrant multimedia installations both on and underneath the structure.

Large-scale lenticular photographs dominate the third gallery. The works are seemingly in conflict on opposing walls while a giant floor projection reveals an animated view of Mexico City in real time.

The final gallery experience will be anchored by an installation featuring a lunar lander in the shape of a massive stone Olmec head, merging symbols of the ancient past with ideas of future humanity.

“‘de la Torre Brothers: Upward Mobility’ will be transhistorical, as is much of the de la Torre brothers’ work,” said René Paul Barilleaux, exhibition co-curator and McNay’s head of curatorial affairs. “Einar and Jamex will also incorporate objects from the McNay’s collection into the exhibition, expanding appreciation for the creative intersections of traditional decorative art with Mexican vernacular art and pre-Columbian and ancient American imagery.”

“de la Torre Brothers: Upward Mobility” is organized by the McNay Art Museum and co-curated by René Paul Barilleaux, head of curatorial affairs, and Lauren Thompson, curator of exhibitions, with assistance from Mia Lopez, curator of Latinx art.

The brothers recently completed a separate site-specific installation at the McNay, “de la Torre Brothers: Latin Exoskeleton.” On view through Sept. 15, 2024, the work transformed the AT&T Lobby through a combination of tromps l’oeil wallpaper and lenticular images.

Lead funding for “de la Torre Brothers: Upward Mobility” is most generously provided by the Elizabeth Huth Coates Charitable Foundation of 1992. Major funding is provided by The Brown Foundation; Semmes Foundation, Inc.; Frost Bank and Humanities Texas.

SAN ANTONIO — Los hermanos colaboradores Einar y Jamex de la Torre debutarán su exposición individual en San Antonio el próximo año con “de la Torre Brothers: Upward Mobility,” que se exhibirá en el McNay Art Museum del 1 de Marzo al 15 de Septiembre de 2024. Las obras de técnica mixta presentarán el estilo característico de los hermanos que combina esculturas de vidrio soplado, impresiones lenticulares, vídeos, instalaciones y otros materiales y técnicas de formas inesperadas.

“Los conceptos de identidad son realmente importantes en nuestro trabajo,” afirmó Einar de la Torre. “Estamos cuestionando lo que significa ser Estadounidense y lo que significa ser Mexicano y, con suerte, abriendo puertas a las complejidades de la experiencia de los inmigrantes y a las identidades biculturales contradictorias.”

Los hermanos de la Torre viven y trabajan en ambos lados de la frontera en el Valle de Guadalupe en Baja California, México y San Diego, California. Un interés compartido por el vidrio soplado desencadenó su asociación y los dos han estado creando juntos desde la década de 1990. Su sensibilidad barroca incorpora colores vivos, texturas en capas y detalles intrincados. El dúo adopta un enfoque aditivo en su arte en todos los géneros, a menudo explorando ideas sobre la vida y el más allá y fusionando símbolos culturales de formas divertidas para imaginar futuros potenciales para la humanidad. La exposición incluirá obras existentes y nuevas que representan una visión multifacética de la vida con un sentido de ironía lúdica.

“Al igual que las obras lenticulares de los hermanos de la Torre, que cambian según el punto de vista de cada uno, esperamos que esta exposición resuene con las perspectivas únicas de la comunidad de San Antonio”, dijo Matthew McLendon, Director Ejecutivo del McNay. “El McNay está comprometido a reflejar la identidad local y aumentar la visibilidad de diversos artistas a través de nuestra programación de exposiciones.”

La presentación en el McNay se organizará en cuatro secciones temáticas. La galería introductoria presenta a los visitantes obras de arte en los medios por los que los hermanos son más conocidos — esculturas de vidrio soplado a mano y fotografías lenticulares — incluidas varias esculturas creadas especialmente para la exposición.

Incorporando muebles, papel tapiz, vajillas y otros objetos funcionales, el próximo espacio rodeará a los huéspedes en un entorno doméstico inmersivo. La pieza central de la sala será una fantástica mesa de banquete que abarca más de 20 pies y contará con vibrantes instalaciones multimedia tanto encima como debajo de la estructura.

Las fotografías lenticulares a gran escala dominan la tercera galería. Las obras parecen estar en conflicto en paredes opuestas mientras una proyección gigante en el piso revela una vista animada de la Ciudad de México en tiempo real.

La experiencia final de la galería estará anclada por una instalación que presenta un módulo de aterrizaje lunar con la forma de una enorme cabeza de piedra Olmeca, que fusiona símbolos del pasado antiguo con ideas de la humanidad futura.

“‘De la Torre Brothers: Upward Mobility’ será transhistórico, como lo es gran parte del trabajo de los hermanos de la Torre,” dijo René Paul Barilleaux, co-curador de la exposición y Jefe de Asuntos Curatoriales del McNay. “Einar y Jamex también incorporarán objetos de la colección del McNay a la exposición, ampliando el reconocimiento por las intersecciones creativas del arte decorativo tradicional con el arte vernáculo Mexicano y la imaginería Precolombina y antigua Americana.”

“De la Torre Brothers: Upward Mobility” está organizado por el McNay Art Museum y co-curado por René Paul Barilleaux, Jefe de Asuntos Curatoriales, y Lauren Thompson, Curadora de Exposiciones, con la asistencia de Mia Lopez, Curadora de Arte LatinX.

Los hermanos recientemente completaron una instalación separada para un sitio específico en el McNay, “de la Torre Brothers: Latin Exoskeleton.” La obra, que estará expuesta hasta el 15 de Deptiembre de 2024, transformó el vestíbulo de AT&T con una combinación de papel tapiz “tromps l’oeil” e imágenes lenticulares.

La financiación principal para “de la Torre Brothers: Upward Mobility” la proporciona muy generosamente la Elizabeth Huth Coates Charitable Foundation de 1992. La financiación principal la proporciona The Brown Foundation, Semmes Foundation Inc., Frost Bank y Humanities Texas.

(San Antonio, TX) The McNay Art Museum welcomed Mia Lopez as the first curator of Latinx art on Oct. 2. An expert in working with living artists, Lopez will work in many curatorial areas and collaborate cross-departmentally to expand and infuse representation of Latinx artists throughout the McNay, with a particular focus on acquisitions and programming.  

“We envision the McNay as San Antonio’s place of belonging,” said Matthew McLendon, director of the McNay. “Mia, and this new role, will go a long way toward making this vision a tangible reality that our visitors will experience and will help us advance our mission to engage a diverse community in the discovery and enjoyment of the visual arts.” 

A graduate of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (multiple master’s degrees in Modern and Contemporary Art History, Theory and Criticism and Arts Administration and Policy) and Rice University (Bachelor of Arts in Art History), Lopez has consulted on contemporary art, arts administration and Latinx art for institutions including the Jane Addams Hull-House Museum (Chicago), Independent Curators International (New York), Weisman Art Museum (Minneapolis), Minneapolis College of Art and Design (Minneapolis) and many others. She has held curatorial positions with the DePaul Art Museum (Chicago) and the Walker Art Center (Minneapolis). Her writing has appeared in publications by DePaul Art Museum, the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston, the Walker Art Center, Prospect New Orleans and Arte Público Press. 

Exhibitions curated or co-curated by Lopez include the upcoming online exhibition “The Backroom” at Museo Tamayo (Mexico City/Online, 2023), “LatinXAmerican” at DePaul Art Museum (Chicago, 2021) and “Remember Where You Are” at DePaul Art Museum (Chicago, 2019-2020).

Lopez has participated in many prestigious programs including the Association of Art Museum Curators Mentorship Program (2020-21), the Independent Curators International Curatorial Intensive (2018), the National Association of Latino Arts and Cultures Leadership Institute (2016) and the Smithsonian Institution Latino Museum Studies Program (2012). 

“I am passionate about storytelling through art and amplifying the work of artists and creatives,” said Lopez. “I look forward to developing exhibitions and expanding experiences that celebrate not only the McNay’s growing collection of art but the importance of Latinx culture to the San Antonio community and beyond.” 

The new position is funded by the Leadership in Art Museums (LAM) initiative through 2028. The LAM partnership — consisting of the Alice L. Walton Foundation, Ford Foundation, Mellon Foundation and Pilot House Philanthropy — is funding museums to increase racial equity in leadership roles such as curators, conservators, collections managers, community engagement staff, educators and other senior leaders in a manner designed to advance racial equity. 

In LAM’s announcement, Darren Walker, president of the Ford Foundation, said, “If we want the arts in this country to stay vibrant, moving and transformational, it’s imperative that these institutions bring in more diverse perspectives and lived experiences. Leadership in Arts Museums’ vision is to grow and invest in diverse leadership at U.S. art museums to ensure their excellence and relevance in the future.” 

The McNay is the only museum in Texas to be granted the award. Other museums receiving awards include, but are not limited to, the Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens (Jacksonville, Florida), MASS MoCA (North Adams, Massachusetts), Museum of Contemporary Art (Los Angeles), Peabody Essex Museum (Salem, Massachusetts) and the Pérez Art Museum (Miami). 

“We are grateful to Mia for joining our team and to LAM for helping to make it possible,” said René Paul Barilleaux, head of curatorial affairs at the McNay. “She will substantially expand the scope of the McNay’s curatorial team while bringing a new, crucial expertise and perspective to our already outstanding group of curators.”

SAN ANTONIO — Con motivo del 30 aniversario de la película de animación stop-motion del cineasta Tim Burton, “The Nightmare Before Christmas”, el Museo de Arte McNay inaugurará “Dreamland | Tim Burton’s ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas,’” en exhibición del 17 de Agosto de 2023 al 14 de Enero de 2024. La exposición presenta maquetas, modelos de trabajo a pequeña escala, que se usaron para hacer la icónica película de 1993 y se incorporaron a la Tobin Collection of Theatre Arts del McNay en 1994.

Los visitantes serán guiados a través del mundo de Burton y se les dará una invitación abierta para conjurar sus propias narrativas de fantasía utilizando imágenes surrealistas de la colección de McNay que se exhiben en toda la galería.

La exposición destaca el genio de Burton como se ve a través de la presentación de modelos originales de personajes queridos como Oogie Boogie, Bone Crusher y el héroe de la historia Jack Skellington. También se incluye en la película nominada al premio de la Academia un modelo completo de “Jack Skellington y su perro, Zero, en la torre de Jack” de “The Nightmare Before Christmas” hecho de madera pintada, metal, plástico, tela, objetos encontrados y más.

Con un guiño a las raíces creativas de Burton en Walt Disney, la exposición presenta un “pasillo de retratos peculiares” llena de los artistas José Clemente Orozco Farías, Pablo Picasso, Julie Heffernan, Eugene Berman, Marilyn Lanfear, Willem de Kooning, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec y Julie Speed, entre otros. Las pinturas y fotografías a gran escala de los artistas Paul Maxwell, Claudia Rogge, Robin Utterback y Sandy Skoglund también dan la bienvenida a los visitantes a mundos coloridos y fascinantes.

“La Tobin Collection of Theatre Arts hace que el McNay sea único entre los museos de arte de todo el país”, dijo Matthew McLendon, Director del McNay. “Este monumental aniversario de la atesorada película ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas’ es la oportunidad perfecta no solo para compartir el fascinante escenario y los modelos de personajes de Burton, sino también para iluminar las igualmente fascinantes obras de arte de McNay disponibles para los habitantes de San Antonio durante todo el año.”

La renombrada Tobin Collection of Theatre Arts tiene más de 12,000 objetos y 2,000 libros raros que documentan más de 500 años de excelencia en las artes teatrales globales, lo que representa la colección más importante de efímeros de artes escénicas en el país. El homónimo de la colección, el filántropo y nativo de San Antonio Robert L. B. Tobin, creía que preservar los diseños teatrales originales y compartirlos en entornos educativos y de museos de arte es esencial para el futuro de la innovación en el diseño teatral.

“Dreamland” se presentará simultáneamente hasta la primavera de 2024 con una segunda exhibición de maquetas, “Big Little Stage”, con más de dos docenas de exquisitos modelos escénicos de la Tobin Collection of Theatre Arts. Las exhibiciones de artes teatrales recientes en el McNay incluyen “The Great Stage of Texas”, una celebración de artistas de teatro Estadounidenses reconocidos internacionalmente afiliados a San Antonio, y “Picasso to Hockney: Modern Art on Stage”, una muestra de más de 100 obras de arte del Colección Tobin presentada en el McNay y en museos seleccionados de todo el país.

Los miembros de McNay tienen acceso anticipado a “Dreamland” el 17 de Agosto de 10 a. m. a 4 p. m. con recorridos guiados por docentes a las 11:30 a.m.

Evening for Educators se llevará a cabo el 19 de Octubre a las 5:30 p. m. con acceso a exposiciones y talleres prácticos para educadores que exploran lo surrealista y “burtonesco.”

Las familias de San Antonio están invitadas a celebrar la peculiar exhibición con un día de arte, animación y criaturas macabras en el McNay Free Family Day el 5 de Noviembre de 1 p. m. a 4 p. m.

“Dreamland | Tim Burton’s ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas,’” is organized for the McNay Art Museum by R. Scott Blackshire, Ph.D., curator of the Tobin Collection of Theatre Arts, and Kim Neptune, the Tobin Theatre Arts Fund assistant curator of the Tobin Collection of Theatre Arts.

Major support for “Dreamland” is provided by The Tobin Endowment. Additional funding is most generously provided by The Tobin Theatre Arts Fund, the Semmes Foundation, Inc. and
the McNay’s Exhibition Host Committee chaired by Mr. and Mrs. J. Bruce Bugg Jr.

The post Dreamland | Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas Marca el 30 Aniversario de la Película appeared first on McNay Art Museum.

SAN ANTONIO — Marking the 30th anniversary of filmmaker Tim Burton’s stop-motion animated film, “The Nightmare Before Christmas,” the McNay Art Museum will open “Dreamland | Tim Burton’s ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas,’” on view from Aug. 17, 2023 to Jan. 14, 2024. The exhibition presents maquettes, small-scale working models, used to make the iconic 1993 film and accessioned into the McNay’s Tobin Collection of Theatre Arts in 1994.

Visitors will be guided through the world of Burton and given an open invitation to conjure fantasy narratives of their own using surreal imagery from the McNay’s collection on display throughout the gallery.

The exhibition spotlights Burton’s genius as seen through the presentation of original models of beloved characters like Oogie Boogie Exposed, Bone Crusher and the story’s hero Jack Skellington. Also included from the Academy Award-nominated film is a full set model of “Jack Skellington and his dog, Zero, in Jack’s Tower” from “The Nightmare Before Christmas” made of painted wood, metal, plastic, fabric, found objects and more.

With a nod to Burton’s creative roots at Walt Disney, the exhibition features a “hall of peculiar portraits” filled with quirky subjects by artists José Clemente Orozco Farías, Pablo Picasso, Julie Heffernan, Eugene Berman, Marilyn Lanfear, Willem de Kooning, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec and Julie Speed, among others. Large-scale paintings and photographs by artists Paul Maxwell, Claudia Rogge, Robin Utterback and Sandy Skoglund also welcome visitors into colorful and arresting worlds.

“The Tobin Collection of Theatre Arts makes the McNay unique among art museums across the country,” said Matthew McLendon, director of the McNay. “This monumental anniversary of the treasured film ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas’ is the perfect opportunity not only to share Burton’s fascinating set and character models but also illuminate equally fascinating McNay artworks available to San Antonians throughout the year.”

The renowned Tobin Collection of Theatre Arts holds more than 12,000 objects and 2,000 rare books documenting more than 500 years of excellence in global theatre arts, representing the most significant collection of performing arts ephemera in the country. The collection’s namesake, San Antonio native and philanthropist Robert L. B. Tobin, believed preserving original theatre designs and sharing them in both educational and art museum settings is essential to the future of innovation in theatre design.

“Dreamland” will run concurrently through spring 2024 with a second maquette exhibition, “Big Little Stage,” featuring more than two dozen exquisite stage models from the Tobin Collection of Theatre Arts. Recent theatre arts exhibitions at the McNay include “The Great Stage of Texas,” a celebration of internationally recognized American theatre artists affiliated with San Antonio, and “Picasso to Hockney: Modern Art on Stage,” a showcase of more than 100 artworks from the Tobin Collection presented at the McNay and selected museums across the country.

McNay members have early access to “Dreamland” on Aug. 17 from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. with docent led tours at 11:30 a.m.

Evening for Educations will be held on Oct. 19 at 5:30 p.m. with exhibition access and hands-on workshops for educators exploring the surreal and “Burtonesque.”

San Antonio families are invited to celebrate the ghoulish exhibition with a day of art, animation and macabre creatures at the annual McNay Free Family Day on Nov. 5 from 1 to 4 p.m.

“Dreamland | Tim Burton’s ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas,’” is organized for the McNay Art Museum by R. Scott Blackshire, Ph.D., curator of the Tobin Collection of Theatre Arts, and Kim Neptune, the Tobin Theatre Arts Fund assistant curator of the Tobin Collection of Theatre Arts.

Major support for “Dreamland” is provided by The Tobin Endowment. Additional funding is most generously provided by The Tobin Theatre Arts Fund, the Semmes Foundation, Inc. and the McNay’s Exhibition Host Committee chaired by Mr. and Mrs. J. Bruce Bugg Jr.

The post Dreamland | Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas Marks the Film’s 30th Anniversary appeared first on McNay Art Museum.

On view through July 2, 2023, visitors will enjoy artwork by regionally, nationally, and internationally recognized artists. Several works of art are on view for the first time at the McNay, including Kara Walker’s Testimony and Agnes Martin’s On a Clear Day, among others. The exhibition also highlights the talent within San Antonio’s community through works by Leigh Anne Lester, Kelly O’Connor, Margaret Mitchell, Antonia Padilla, Katie Pell, Eva Marengo Sanchez, Ethel Shipton, and Liz Ward. The exhibition is organized by universal themes of empowerment, nature, science, culture, history, and identity. 

Inspired by Alice Walker’s In Search of Our Mothers’ Gardens: Womanist Prose (1983), the title of this exhibition reclaims the term “womanish,” often considered derogatory, from a place of empowerment. Walker defined the term as: “Usually referring to outrageous, audacious, courageous or willful behavior.”   

“From theater arts and works on paper to a dynamic mix of modern and contemporary sculpture, video, and prints, Womanish honors the McNay’s commitment to championing women artists,” said Matthew McLendon, PhD, McNay Director and CEO. “Works of art from 80 artists across the span of 90 years join together in a thought-provoking presentation with themes that are universal.”  

What San Antonio should know about Womanish 

• Presents a selection of artwork acquired by the McNay since 2010 with 80 artists represented 
• Includes artwork from all of the McNay’s major collecting areas, including Modern and Contemporary Art, works on paper, and theatre arts 
• Exhibition is organized thematically, rather than chronologically, to promote critical thinking about similarities and differences between works of art 

Free community events for Womanish 

• McNay Family Day: Go Far on Sunday, April 2 from 1 to 4 p.m. 
• Exhibition Closing Performance on Sunday, July 2 from 2 to 4 p.m. 

Womanish: Audacious, Courageous, Willful Art is organized for the McNay Art Museum by Lauren Thompson, Assistant Curator; Liz Paris, Collections Manager; Kim Neptune, The Tobin Theatre Arts Fund Assistant Curator; and Paula Contreras, 2022-2023 Semmes Foundation Intern in Museum Studies.  

Lead funding is most generously provided by the Elizabeth Huth Coates Charitable Foundation of 1992. Major funding is provided by the Tobin Endowment in memory of Margaret Batts Tobin. Additional support is provided by the Semmes Foundation, Inc.; Frost Charitable Foundation; and Host Committee, chaired by Harriett and Ricardo Romo.

The post <strong><em>Womanish: Audacious, Courageous, Willful Art </em>Opens at the McNay Art Museum, Featuring 80 Artists</strong>   appeared first on McNay Art Museum.

(San Antonio, TX) December 14, 2022 – The McNay Art Museum’s Board of Trustees has confirmed the appointment of Matthew McLendon, PhD, to serve as the museum’s fourth director in its 68-year history. McLendon comes to the McNay from The Fralin Museum of Art at The University of Virginia (UVA), where he served as the J. Sanford Miller Family Director and Chief Curator since 2017.

“Matthew’s dynamic experience as an art historian, museum director and curator will strengthen the McNay Art Museum’s position as a global destination for modern and contemporary art,” said Don Frost, President of the Board of Trustees. “We are confident that his expertise and strong commitment to civic engagement will advance the Museum’s vision of becoming a place of belonging for our diverse community.”

An energetic and influential leader, McLendon is widely recognized for his emphasis on community engagement and education, advocacy of cross-disciplinary programming and amplifying underrepresented and marginalized voices in the museum setting. At The Fralin, McLendon focused on invigorating the museum within the University and its wider constituencies. Museum attendance and major support increased and diversified dramatically during his tenure, along with the launch of new public programs, including Greenbrier Global Artists, an after-school program serving the children of asylum seekers.

“Under Matthew’s leadership, the Fralin Museum of Art has made tremendous strides in facilitating important conversations through the Museum’s collection and exhibitions,” said UVA Vice Provost for the Arts, Jody Kielbasa. “As director and chief curator, Matthew was devoted to sharing inclusive stories in the galleries, expanding the collection, bolstering audience engagement and garnering national media attention for the institution. His work and collaborative spirit left an indelible mark on the Fralin Museum of Art, the University of Virginia and our community of Charlottesville, and will benefit the Museum’s visitors and the UVA community for many years to come.”

Nationally-recognized exhibitions during McLendon’s tenure include a multi-sensory installation by Vanessa German, sometimes.we.cannot.be.with.our.bodies.; Unexpected O’Keeffe: The Virginia Watercolors and Later Paintings, an exhibition focusing on the critical yet little-known period that Georgia O’Keeffe spent as a student at UVA; and Skyscraper Gothic, investigating the European foundations of the fundamentally American skyscraper and its place in early 20th century material culture.

The Fralin also expanded its Native American collections under McLendon’s leadership, acquiring works by contemporary Native American artists including Wendy Red Star, Cara Romero, Rick Bartow and others. Earlier this year, the Museum was awarded a $250,000 American Art Program Responsive Grant from the Henry Luce Foundation to support new research and interpretation of the Native American collection through engagement with Native scholars, artists and knowledge holders.

As an advocate for emerging and mid-career artists in the museum setting, McLendon has worked with a host of significant voices in contemporary art in both thematic and solo exhibitions, among them: Vanessa German, R. Luke DuBois, Trenton Doyle Hancock, Beth Lipman, Sofía Maldonado-Suárez, Nick Cave, Sanford Biggers, Toni Dove, Mickalene Thomas, Zimoun, Anne Patterson, Emily Noelle Lambert, Aurora Robson, Jill Sigman, Mac Premo, Daniel Rozin, Alyce Santoro, Gajin Fujita, and more.

“The McNay Art Museum’s commitment to integrity, innovation, excellence and equity aligns with the work that has anchored my career,” said McLendon. “It is an honor to follow Richard Aste, and I eagerly anticipate furthering the institution’s mission to provide transformational experiences to the San Antonio community through a growing collection and thought-provoking exhibitions.”

McLendon will assume leadership duties at the McNay on February 13, 2023. Last summer, current director Richard Aste announced his plan to move to California in early 2023. Aste will remain in his role through February 10, 2023, ensuring a seamless transition in leadership for the Museum.

A Search Committee appointed by the McNay Board of Trustees–and led by Committee Co-Chairs Amy Stieren and Darryl Byrd–identified McLendon as the ideal candidate to serve as the next McNay Director.

“Matthew stood out from numerous, highly-qualified candidates as someone with a unique combination of business acumen, arts expertise, infectious positive energy and a true love for the integral role art museums play in the communities they serve,” said Darryl Byrd, McNay Board Member and Co-Chair of the Search Committee.

“We are thrilled to welcome Matthew and his innovative ‘leader as facilitator’ approach to the McNay and its talented staff as we collectively build upon the Museum’s legacy of excellence together,” said Amy Stieren, McNay Vice President and Co-Chair of the Search Committee.

ABOUT MATTHEW McLENDON, PhD
Before going to The Fralin, McLendon was recruited in 2010 by The John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art, the State Art Museum of Florida, as curator of modern and contemporary art and charged with reviving its dormant Modern and Contemporary program. In a museum then best known for its European paintings, McLendon undertook a series of high-profile exhibitions featuring rarely-seen works from The Ringling permanent collection. In 2011, Joseph’s Coat, a Skyspace by artist James Turrell, was opened under McLendon’s leadership and his original exhibitions began building larger regional and national audiences.

McLendon inaugurated and co-directed the Art of Our Time initiative, focused on living visual and performing artists. This cross-disciplinary programming series helped lead the way in The Ringling setting new records in attendance, membership, and support. Other high profile major exhibitions included the first museum survey of artist, composer, and performer R. Luke DuBois and an examination of living artists working with found objects (in the tradition of Marcel Duchamp) in Re:Purposed. McLendon concluded his time at The Ringling with the first museum survey of interactive cinema and live-mix performance pioneer Toni Dove. Major gifts to the permanent collection in support of the Modern and Contemporary program included substantial additions to The Ringling’s holdings; a new collecting emphasis on studio glass with major collection gifts; and two permanent additions to exhibition space, the Kotler-Coville Glass Pavilion and the Keith D. and Linda L. Monda Gallery of Contemporary Art.

His books and publications include: Toni Dove: Embodied Machines (Scala); EMIT: What the Bringback Brought (Ringling/Murphy); Re:Purposed (Scala); R. Luke DuBois—Now (Scala); Dana Hargrove: Inhabit (Bridgette Mayer Gallery, contributing writer); Back to the Futurists: The Avant Garde and Its Legacy (Manchester University Press, contributing writer); Jill Sigman: Ten Huts (Wesleyan University Press, contributing writer), among others.

McLendon previously served in curatorial and educational positions at the Rollins Museum of Art and Tate Britain, London. He has served as teaching faculty for graduate and undergraduate students at the University of Virginia, Florida State University, New College of Florida, and Rollins College, in addition to frequent guest lectures, interviews and media appearances. He earned his MA and PhD from the Courtauld Institute of Art of the University of London. He earned dual Bachelor of Arts degrees in Music and Art History at Florida State University, with magna cum laude honors. He is a member of Phi Beta Kappa, Association of Art Museum Directors, American Alliance of Museums, and College Art Association among other professional organizations.
