As Glasstire celebrates its 25th anniversary, they are commemorating the artists and art professionals who have shaped its regional art scenes, as well as Texas art more broadly. To do this, throughout 2026, Glasstire is commissioning photographers from across the state to document more than 80 important Texas artists, arts workers, collectors, gallerists, and many others.
In 2016, along with his partner, artist Jenelle Esparza, Rigoberto Luna founded Presa House Gallery as a space dedicated to experimentation by emerging and mid-career artists. Patricia Ruiz-Healy established Ruiz-Healy Art in 2004 with a program focused on platforming both Latinx and Latin American art and artists. Justin Parr is an artist and the longtime proprietor of Fl!ght Gallery, an art space in the Blue Star Arts Complex, where he has organized 12 shows a year since 2001.
