Alejandro Diaz, founding father of San Antonio artwork house Sala Diaz, was born within the Alamo Metropolis and now resides in New York.

This two-part exhibition runs concurrently in New York and San Antonio.
Free, 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Wednesday-Saturday and by appointment, Ruiz-Healy Artwork, 201-A E. Olmos Drive, (210) 804-2219, ruizhealyart.com.
