It’s not technically over yet, but Elda Silva of the San Antonio Express-News has wrapped up the visual arts in her city for 2011 in yesterday’s paper, highlighting a catholic selection of street art, Chinese jade, British sculpture, Border-inspired politics, and Mapache Man, Jimmy James Canales’ “hulking, faux-furred creation (made out of coonskin caps)” in her roudup of the best San Antonio had to offer last year.
UPDATE:
Gaile Robinson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram had a similar year-in-review for DFW, listing a string of great shows at institutions in the metroplex.
