The City of San Antonio has awarded an artist’s grant to Celeste Guzman Mendoza, assistant vice president of Trinity University’s alumni relations and development. The funds will support a one-woman show tentatively titled, 50 Years a Tejana, according to Mendoza, a San Antonio native. The show will fuse storytelling with flamenco dance.
According to a KENS 5 article, the city’s department of arts and culture awarded 45 such grants of either $7,500 or $15,000 through its fiscal year 2027 Artist Grants program. The grants support artists across a range of disciplines, including literary, media, multidisciplinary, performing, and visual arts. Funded projects are expected to be presented publicly throughout San Antonio between October 2026 and March 2028.
