About Agosto Cuellar
Agosto Cuellar’s long and esteemed career started in his youth as an artist in San Antonio’s West Side, where he was inspired by the neighborhood culture. He began making art as early as 1981 and in 1990, he participated in his very first exhibition at Planta de Arte Nuclear, which featured polymer clay and feather earrings he created.
From 2008 to 2018 Cuellar created and produced the west side’s groundbreaking fashion show Runway En La Calle, an extension of the Una Noche de la Gloria arts festival. The fashion show took place on an elevated platform on Brazos St.
His most recent accolades include the 2018 Cultural Pioneer Award from Texas Fashion Week as well as the 2021 Womenswear of the Year Award. In 2019, his collection, Barrio Folk Baroque, was featured on the New York City and Paris runways during Fashion Week.
Currently, Cuellar is Goodwill’s Customer Experience Manager and creates content for their social media. He also owns and operates the recently opened boutique, Augustine Atelier, located at the Blue Star Arts Complex. This is his second shop and carries a similar creative sprit as his celebrated Jive Refried shop which he closed in 2011.
