Sala Diaz Sala Diaz, a 501(c) 3 exhibition space, is an experimental venue for contemporary art established in 1995. Open by appointment.

Located in the heart of the Cultural Arts District, Sala Diaz provides a venue for the exhibition of new and challenging work and fosters lasting exchange between our city and creative communities abroad. Housed in the same residential structure as the gallery, The Casa Chuck Residency is an invitational program through which Sala Diaz provides critics, curators and writers a haven for varied creative pursuits. Initiated in 2011, the residency honors the legacy of visionary artist, arts advocate, cultural maven and bon vivant Chuck Ramirez who died the previous year. Official residents spend one month living in Ramirez’ former abode, exploring and interacting with the surrounding arts community. Sala/Casa hosts a wide array of arts professionals in-between exhibitions and residencies including artists, critics, curators, filmmakers, musicians and scholars. http://saladiazart.org/

An immersive exploration of how fringe ideologies infiltrate everyday spaces. Drawing from Richard Hofstadter's "paranoid style," deep politics theory, and unexpected connections to the Process Church of the Final Judgment, Anthony Rundblade transforms a quasi-domestic gallery space into a meditation on power, control, and cultural syntheses.

The gallery is open today, from 12–pm for gallery hours!

π—§π—΅π—Άπ˜€ π—ͺ𝗲𝗲𝗸 | Join us for the opening of Anthony Rundblade's "Paranoid Style Vital Farms." In Rundblade's words, "The objects, images, materials, and interventions within Sala Diaz's exhibition space, a quasi-domestic layout, build on themes of the fringe infiltrating the banal space. Formal organizations and motifs are built through language and cursory ideas from research on parapolitics, deep politics, and conspiracy."

Up Next | Anthony Rundblade is an artist based in San Antonio, TX, working primarily in sculpture and installation. He earned his BFA with a focus in printmaking from The University of Texas at San Antonio and his MFA in Studio Arts from the University of Texas at Austin. Through material experimentation and the manipulation of found objects and matrix-based processes like mold making and printmaking, he creates installations and sculptures that challenge perceptions of the familiar. Deeply informed by themes of inversion, distortion, the uncanny, and the slow centralization of the illusory fringe.

Anthony's exhibition, Paranoid Style Vital Farms, opens on Friday, September 11, 2026, from 6–9pm at Sala Diaz.

This year our team was able to meet the wonderful team at Ruth Foundation for the Arts (Ruth Arts)! In April, thanks to the generosity of Ruth Arts, we flew to Milwaukee, WI to visit their space and in July, the Ruth Arts team flew to Texas and experience Sala Diaz in person.

With a mission of β€œmeeting the evolving needs and lived experiences of artists, communities, and arts organizations whose work is anchored by the visual and the performing arts,” Ruth Arts creates partnerships, long-standing, evolving, thoughtful partnerships to uplift the arts community.

We are grateful for all that they do, and are proud to be a Core Grant recipient. Thank you, Ruth Arts!
