San Antonio Museum of Art reopening Latin American Popular Art Gallery
The space, which is on the first floor of the museum's Nelson A. Rockefeller Center for Latin American Art, previously was known as the Latin American Folk Art Gallery. It first opened under its new name almost exactly two years ago, and it will be open to the public again starting Friday.The gallery has been closed since the winter storm of February 2021, when a sprinkler valve malfunctioned because of a frozen pipe, flooding the gallery. None of the artwork was damaged.
Re-imagining the gallery was at the top of Sánchez's to-do list when she went to work for the museum in 2019. At that time, it had been closed for about two years, also because of water damage from a leak. Marion Oettinger, the museum's respected and long-serving curator of Latin American art, was heading into retirement. So the decision was made that reinstalling the gallery would fall to Sánchez, his successor.
