ABOUT THE ARTIST & AUTHOR
Al Rendón has been documenting his hometown, San Antonio, for over fifty years. He started as a teen, taking photos of rock bands, but he quickly transitioned to photos that captured San Antonio’s Mexican culture. He has photographed Conjunto and Tejano musicians, local artists, street food purveyors, Charreada competitors and people in their everyday lives.
His work with Conjunto and Tejano musicians led him to work with Selena. His photos of Selena were used as cover art for her 1992 CD Entre a Mi Mundo and various other photos of Selena have appeared on several magazines, including Newsweek and People; and her portrait is in the collection of the National Portrait Gallery at the Smithsonian.
The exhibition Mi Cultura—Bringing Shadows Into the Light: The Photography of Al Rendón is presented by the Cheever Family Foundation and generously supported by Guillermo Nicolas and the WellMed Charitable Foundation. The book Mi Cultura—Bringing Shadows Into the Light: The Photography of Al Rendón is generously supported by Marsha Shields and the McCombs Foundation.

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Meyers Spring is considered one of the “must see” rock art sites in Texas. The Spring serves as a major source of water in the dry West Texas climate and has been at the center of human activity for thousands of years.
The stunning rock art found here includes paintings in the Pecos River style left by ancient people. On top of those older paintings, Indigenous artists recorded images of European contact. And still later, Seminole Scouts and local ranchers left their marks.
This site was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972 and today is privately owned. The Witte Museum thanks the landowners for their stewardship of this unique cultural resource and for graciously providing access.
Located near Dryden, Texas, the Meyers Spring site features a 100 ft. long prehistoric and historic rock art panel near the spring and the site of historic Camp Meyers, a western outpost of the Black Seminole Scouts assigned to Fort Clark in Brackettville during the late 1800s.
