September’s #MonthlyMural highlights “Yanaguana” by San Antonio artist Rubio , a 40-foot-long abstract composition painted with assistance from Blue Star Contemporary Art Museum's MOSAIC student artist program. This artwork is inspired by the history and myth of the San Antonio River, known as Yanaguana by the region’s Indigenous community. 🌊🎨
“Yanaguana” is part of the “Play” series located in Yanaguana Garden at Hemisfair, transforming the area into a creative landscape.
