SUMMARY:February 2026 VAS Meeting: Meet Joel Kitchens
DESCRIPTION:Meet member Joel Kitchens at our February 9 meeting when he shares his story and his new book! \nWhere will your art take you? For Joel Kitchens\, it led to a doctoral degree and a book newly published by Texas A&M University Press. In the early 2000s\, Joel had been changing his photographic technique from 35mm color to 4×5 large format black and white\, and a return to the traditional wet darkroom. San Antonio’s five colonial-era missions became the preferred subjects he photographed as he honed his skills. Because Joel was neither a native Texan nor Catholic\, he began to read and research the missions in order to make better informed images. Somewhere along the way\, he realized there was a story about the missions that was not being told. The research escalated exponentially and he chose to make these missions the focus for his doctoral dissertation\, and after many revisions\, the present book\, San Antonio and Its Missions: Three Centuries of History\, Memory\, and Heritage. The missions are “sites of memory\,” and the book defines this concept and explores how and why Spain built the missions\, what happened to the missions after the Spanish colonizers left\, and how and why the missions came to weigh so heavily in American imagination and identity\, even into the twenty-first century. Now with the book published\, Joel can return to the style of photography he loves most\, the silver gelatin print\, created on film\, and made in the traditional wet darkroom. \nDoors open at DEGALLERY at 5:30pm.    There will be light refreshments.  Come by a bit early\, chat and catch up! \n

SUMMARY:March 2026 VAS Meeting: Meet Theodora Krc
DESCRIPTION:Meet member Theodora Saladino Krc at our March 9 meeting when she shares her artist story! \n \nBorn in 1949 to Czech and Sicilian parents\, Theodora Saladino Krc (pronounced “Kerch”) was raised on a family nursery in Bryan\, Texas. A talented artist from a young age\, she moved to Houston in 1971 and eventually graduated from the University of Houston in 1984 with a degree in Fine Art. \nWhile she initially studied interior design\, Theodora found her true passion in painting. Her style evolved through a deep fascination with astronomy\, quantum physics\, and ancient philosophies. Today\, her “spiritual\, cosmic” artwork merges atomic theory with healing colors and shapes to explore the space-time continuum. Her visual expression aims to make the “invisible webs of the cosmos” visible\, imagining art from other dimensions where light forms matter. \nAfter further studies in graphic and web design in San Diego\, Theodora has returned to her roots in Bryan\, Texas\, where she continues her unique artistic exploration. \nDoors open at DEGALLERY at 5:30pm.    There will be light refreshments.  Come by a bit early\, chat and catch up! \n
