Glasstire is excited to announce the third in a series of eight panel discussions across Texas. Throughout 2026, as part of the publication’s 25th anniversary, Glasstire is organizing conversations in Dallas-Fort Worth, The Panhandle, West Texas, East Texas, Houston, San Antonio, Austin, and The Valley. Each panel will feature artists, art critics, and arts professionals from the region discussing the area’s art and arts writing over the past two and a half decades.
The third Talking Texas Art event will be hosted at the El Paso Museum of Art on Thursday, June 18, at 6 p.m. (MDT). Panelists will include Buck Johnston, co-owner of Wrong Marfa and Do Right Hall in Marfa; Rebecca Muñoz, Director of the El Paso Mexican American Cultural Center; and Gaspar Enríquez, an El Paso-born artist who recently showed a work at the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C. The panel will be moderated by Jessica Fuentes, Glasstire’s Editor-in-Chief. Read more about each of the panelists below.
Throughout the year, Glasstire will announce details of the upcoming Talking Texas Art panels, so stay tuned to see when we are coming to your area.
Buck Johnston is a designer, gallerist, and business owner. She started designing websites and new media applications in 1995, creating sites and applications for Blockbuster, Subaru, Siemens, HP, IBM and many other corporate clients. While on a road trip in 2001, she and her partner Camp Bosworth spontaneously bought an old adobe church in Marfa, and moved to town four months later. She has designed websites for the Chinati Foundation, The Big Bend Sentinel, Marfa ISD, Hotel Paisano, CineMarfa and many artists’ websites, helping shape how Marfa is perceived from the world-at-large.
In 2008, Ms. Johnston developed Marfalist.org, an online community bulletin board. She and Mr. Bosworth opened Wrong Marfa in 2010, a popular store and gallery featured in numerous international magazines and books. They also own and operate the Do Right Hall in Marfa, an exhibition space for local artists and special events. They are currently working on Sun City Super, a bodega project in El Paso scheduled to open in late 2026.
Rebecca Ann Muñoz is a Chicana visual artist and cultural worker from El Paso, Texas. For more than 25 years, she has worked across nonprofit and public sectors, building a practice at the intersection of cultural organizing, development, and arts education by centering community stories and accessibility. She holds a PhD in Rhetoric and Writing Studies from the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP), an MFA in Painting from New Mexico State University, and a BA in Philosophy from UTEP.
In August 2023, she was appointed the inaugural Director of the El Paso Mexican American Cultural Center, where she leads a creative team dedicated to preserving cultural memory, celebrating the traditions of the borderlands, and amplifying contemporary artistic expression. Previously, as Cultural Program Manager for the City’s Museums and Cultural Affairs Department, Ms. Muñoz oversaw signature public arts events and administered the Cultural Funding Program that invested more than $1.5 million in local artists and organizations. Transparency and meaningful public engagement guide her leadership.
Gaspar Enríquez is a Mexican American artist who was born in El Paso’s Segundo Barrio. As a young adult, he chose to be Chicano — actively supporting equality and cultural integrity for Mexican Americans in the United States with his art, teaching, and politics. In all aspects of his artistic practice, Enríquez chooses to reflect the Chicano subculture — the character of its members — back to themselves, and to introduce the dignity and creativity of la gente to diverse audiences. Mr. Enríquez holds an MA in Metals from New Mexico State University and a BA in Art from UTEP. His work has been exhibited at institutions across the Southwestern U.S., and was selected as part of the 2016 Outwin Boochever Portrait Competition at the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C.
