Friendship Along the Border: Art Galleries Collaborate in Presidio

Two art galleries, Galería Raíces and The Dreamers Gallery, have opened in the small border town of Presidio, Texas, and are collaborating rather than competing. Galería Raíces, owned by Yosdy Valdivia, opened in October 2024 in a building that once housed a clothing store run by the late Olivia Rohana de Spencer, a self-taught painter whose work was featured in the inaugural show. The Dreamers Gallery, owned by Adèle Jancovici, opened nearby. The galleries participate in a community event called Nocturnal Animals, which encourages residents to visit both spaces, located just two blocks apart.
