ART IN THE OPEN | It’s here! 💻🌿 The full-color digital edition of Touch Grass by Carlos Aguilar is now live! We’ll be diving into the illustrated zine exploring the Mission Reach—from bugs and bridges to public art and parks—all summer long! 📖 🔗 Free to read, at the link in our bio. All you have to do is touch grass. Created by San Antonio-based artist Carlos Aguilar, Touch Grass reflects on how we see and interact with public spaces, offering thoughtful prompts on what to bring along and how to stay present during outdoor adventures. Through a blend of personal narrative, urban exploration, and ecological awareness, Aguilar invites readers to connect more deeply with the river—viewing it not just as a backdrop, but as a vibrant, living ecosystem. The result is a playful, reflective guide that champions the importance of public access to nature and the art of truly noticing what surrounds us. @zombustudio #sanantonioriverfoundation #discoveryourriver #sanantonioartist Carlos Aguilar, Touch Grass is presented as part of the San Antonio River Foundation’s Art In the Open initiative and program to support artists and engage the San Antonio River community and our visitors with contemporary art experiences. Touch Grass is supported in part by the City of San Antonio Department of Arts & Cultures. @getcreativesa (fb)
