The International Museum of Arts and Science (IMAS) has two exhibits you might want to catch before they are gone. The Fourth Annual Members’ Juried Art Show will be on display until January 5. Rompiendo el Cielo will be on exhibit through January 19.
The Members Juried Art Show is an opportunity for the community to professionally display their art at IMAS. IMAS members were able to enter up to two pieces of art, where at least one piece would be on display. Art pieces were judged and given awards during the opening ceremony in October. Awards were given for best of show, second place, third place, and three honorable mentions.
When the sky’s the limit, what happens when you break the sky? Rompiendo el cielo is an exhibition that features original work by American artist, Uriel Landeros “Conquista.”
This exhibition explores themes of identity, cultural heritage, migration, and representation of Indigenous communities in contemporary art. Rompiendo el cielo presents a series of portraits of icons who have in their own right “broken the sky” through their extraordinary achievements. This exhibit also features original works of art from the artist’s private collection by some of the most recognizable names including Pablo Picasso, Banksy, Andy Warhol, Salvador Dalí, Julian Schnabel, Tony Shafrazi, Rupert Smith, and Joseph Beuys.
IMAS is located at 1900 Nolana Ave. in McAllen. Their hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday, and 1 to 5 p.m. on Sunday. Call (956) 681-2800 for more information.
