Luis Sabor
Victoria artist Luis Sabor, with the
assistance of museum volunteers, recently finished creating mission walls
reminiscent of 18th-century Spanish missions for an upcoming exhibit at Victoria
College’s Museum of the Coastal Bend. “Where Texas Ranching Began,” a permanent
exhibit that will share the history of the Coastal Bend’s ranching heritage, will
be constructed over the next two years in the museum’s newly built Borchers
Leon Exhibit Hall. The exhibit will open incrementally, beginning with La
Misión in October 2024. Sabor, founder of Pure Mind Retreats near San Juan del
Sur, works to promote sustainable systems of living by teaching permaculture,
natural building and renewable energy.
