He studied general business at Del Mar College and has been recognized for his contributions to the arts with several honors, including a Congressional Certificate of Recognition from U.S. Congressman Henry Cuellar,[2] a Senate Proclamation from Leticia Van de Putte, and official congratulations from Mayor Ron Nirenberg for the grand opening of the “Cultural Bounty” exhibition in 2024.[3]
Almeida curated the book Arte: Selections from the UTSA Art Collection, as well as several exhibition catalogs including Veinticinco: 25 Original Print Editions, VOZ: Selections from the UTSA Art Collection (2018), and Sebastián in San Antonio.[4]
