Art Everywhere
Art is everywhere in San Antonio. It brightens walls and bridges, and blossoms in squares and parks. There’s art in long-abandoned alleys and on columns under expressways. The city’s colorful spirit shines forth in paint, tile, stone and all kinds of creative media. On a busy workday in a concrete jungle, an unexpected encounter with a work of art can be an instant reset. It asks you to stop and smell the flowers, even if the flowers are made of oversized bicycle parts. A vivid splash of art can also bring people together to celebrate in a place as barren as a neglected alley or provide a breathing space for moments of reflection.
