“REHAB” ​is ​the ​latest ​and ​greatest ​art ​from ​members ​of ​UTSA’s ​New ​Media ​Collective. ​Celebrating ​its fourth ​year, ​the ​New ​Media ​Collective ​has ​included ​some ​of ​the ​country’s ​brightest, ​nationally recognized ​artists ​proving ​the ​collective ​as ​a ​leading ​member ​of ​the ​San ​Antonio ​arts ​community. This ​show ​will feature ​an exhibition ​of ​performances ​and ​multimedia ​installations ​and will act as ​a ​space ​for ​it’s ​members ​to ​engage ​with ​community ​outreach.
