Whereas the Present’s most-read tales of the week are steadily dominated by political shenanigans on the metropolis and state stage, this week’s roundup was topped by a pair of arts-related tales.
Our most-visited article of the week was in regards to the opening of a McNay Artwork Museum exhibition devoted to director Tim Burton’s progressive stop-motion characteristic The Night time Earlier than Christmas, which celebrates its thirtieth anniversary this yr. What can we are saying? San Antonio loves spooky stuff. In spite of everything, that is the town that hosts an annual Burton Ball celebrating the filmmaker’s darkish and eccentric creations.
Racking up the second most reads for the week was our story on San Antonio’s Arts and Tradition division saying “adios” to Nephtalí De León as metropolis poet laureate. Metropolis officers bounced De León out of the job after he posted a poem on-line that contained a Chicano slang time period largely thought-about a racial slur. De León argued that he did not imply to offend, however many countered by saying, “Uh, too late!”
