About Gallista & Joe Lopez
Founded by artist Joe Lopez, Gallista Gallery became a cornerstone of San Antonio’s Chicano art community. Through bold color, symbolism, and neighborhood storytelling, Joe’s work captures the spirit, struggles, and joy of Mexican American life in Texas.
Gallista has hosted countless exhibitions, community events, and collaborations — serving as both a gallery and a cultural gathering place. This online gallery continues that legacy by preserving and sharing Joe Lopez’s artwork with new generations of viewers.
