Now is a good time to find a nice cool, air-conditioned art gallery where you’ll see sensational shows to expand your mind and give your creativity a jolt. A good place to start is at K Space Contemporary in downtown Corpus Christi. The art is inspiring, creative, and often extremely colorful, a reflection of local culture. Courtesy photo
