We’re pleased to announce that “Grandpa’s Magic” by San Antonio-based artist Angelica Raquel ( ) is now part of the McNay’s permanent collection.

Born from family folklore and childhood memory, this work captures the spirit of Angelica’s solo exhibition, “Mystic Threads,” where reality and myth weave together in felt, fiber, and color. 🧵

Angelica Raquel joins Lauren Thompson, Curator of Exhibitions, and Liz Paris, Curator of Collections/Collections Manager, who discuss the artwork and how this acquisition builds upon our founder Marion Koogler McNay’s collection, which boasts a substantial representation of fiber works by women.

Catch “Angelica Raquel: Mystic Threads” before it closes on July 5 2026.

Today we mourn the loss of David Hockney and celebrate everything he gave to art, theater, and the world. Best known for his iconic swimming pools and intimate portraits, Hockney was also a master of the stage, and the McNay’s collection holds some remarkable examples of that work, including his designs for Parade and his Met Opera posters. Rest well. 1937-2026.
