Art Quest Artist Spotlight on Hermila Cuevas 💫
Pleasant Grove: June 6

On June 6, we invite you to the first of our Art Quest 2026 scavenger hunts, this time spanning across the Pleasant Grove neighborhood! Join us to play along, following clues and racing to win an original artwork by Dallas-based artist Hermila Cuevas!

📅 Saturday, June 6, 2025
⏰ 5 - 9pm
📍 Trinity River Audubon Center

Cuevas is a Mexican-American artist with indigenous roots whose practice explores how ancestral memory intersects with the contemporary experience. Her works are part of Cuevas’ process of reconnecting with her lineages, transforming absence into presence through adaptive and responsive mixed media works.

‘Nopal del Sur: Camino Sagrado’ by Cuevas is a ceramic and neon sculptural work inspired by Mesoamerican cosmology, migration, and ancestral systems of navigation. The sculpture reinterprets the concept of the sacred directional tree through the form of the nopal cactus, reworking the narrative to become a Southern directional marker. This is your chance to win ‘Nopal del Sur’!
