For the past two years, the McNay Museum in San Antonio has been hosting South Texas artists. But this year, with the reopening of the renovated Tobin Exhibition Galleries, the “Pop-Up Exhibition” initiative is more enticing. 

A new exhibition, “6 Texas Artists, 8 Summer Days and 1 Cool Museum,” opens Saturday, June 17 and runs through Sunday, June 25. On Sunday, June 18 from 2 to 4 pm, the museum will host a public reception.

On a recent trip to Florence, I had the pleasure of sitting down for a cappuccino with two American expat friends of mine.

With only a bachelor’s degree in women’s studies, I felt a bit intimidated, but I never felt out of my element.
