  First Friday Art Walk featuring Emmanuel Rangel

  "My work consists of images of Texas Life, Hispanic: History/Culture/Life, People, Places, Everyday life, Historical Landmarks, Inanimate objects, Still Life, as a devoted christian I also do works of spirituality. Many of these subjects represent, if not a direct cultural affiliation to me, then a distant or historical perspective. Those who share with me the same or similar cultural experiences will connect to the concept and abstraction via memory and emotion. The same applies to those who lived in a different time upon seeing a cultural image or icon recognizable to them within their era. I want them to see what they once saw, but in a brand new way."

  Opening Night Friday, June 7, 2019 7:00p.m. exhibit will be up the entire month of June.

  The First Friday of every month each member organization of the HeArt of Del Rio host an opening reception for featured artisit. Open to the public, Free! Art lovers can find everything from traditional art to contemporary and engaging art, including painting, sculpture, photography, mixed media, graphic art, and textiles. Not to mention sometimes you're in for a treat with live music, food and drinks.
