So worth the visit. Some amazing works to look at currently and I hope to return in the future to see what is on display. Gentleman at front desk was very friendly and happy to help us with questions. Long live Artpace

Exhibits are interesting, but the building has a musky/stinky body odor smell to it that is quite distracting and makes the whole experience less attractive. Not the best art gallery Ive been to, for sure. However, the second floor is much better, smell- and exhibit-wise.

Its okay. First time visiting the place. Went to their Friday morning event on the rooftop for donuts and coffee. Climbed up a lot of stairs to get to the top, I found the elevator after I got to the top. Wasnt sure what to do when I got there. No one was greeting people or informing them about the event. Had some flyers and books on a table with the donuts. Only had coffee, no water for non-coffee drinkers. Went inside to see what that was about. The receptionist seemed preoccupied with her phone but was able to tell me where the restrooms were, which were nice. Asked if I could walk around to see the artwork. Receptionist said yes and informed me about more on the 2nd floor. I was able to wonder around with out anyone asking me if I needed help or checking on me. I didnt go into areas that were restricted, but probably could have. Art was interesting. I was able to look at it without a lot of people around. Overall it was ok. Liked sitting outside.

It was kind of a weird experience. While the art was beautiful and very sophisticated, it didnt feel like much was happening outside of it. You are given two rooms to explore and thats it. I went really slow through the exhibits and it took me approximately 10 minutes to read everything.

Will return to SA s public art hub soon!

This is a great place that helps you step outside of yourself for a moment. When I went today I felt like the pieces had no trouble reaching me and making me feel some kind of emotion towards the exhibits. Some of the show pieces made me feel things I didn t mind feeling. Other pieces made me feel very uncomfortable. I assume that s what art does to people; makes them feel things they don t necessarily want to feel. To be honest I wanted to rate this place one star less but I guess it s not fair because the place was ran spectacularly. The kind woman at the front desk was very knowledgeable about the place and what they offered to the public. I didn t have trouble finding my way around and the exhibits had a lot of information about the pieces that made you really appreciate the art and the artist.

Unique art gallery that houses local, national and international artists thrice a year, Artpace is a must if you re downtown. Be sure to get there early as they close at 5 PM. Free parking is available in a parking lot a block away off Flores. I made my first visit today and loved it. The main exhibit wasn t open yet (it starts Thursday and ends in January sometime), but I thoroughly enjoyed the Alex de Leon exhibit available upstairs.

A win! Its impossible to get bored in San Antonio with outstanding places like Artpace. Its intriguing how 9 artists (3 from Texas, 3 from anywhere in the US, and 3 from all over the world) are invited to live and work here for a 4 month time period (in 3 different cycles). The entire experience is FREE (artists lectures are even offered). The vibe and atmosphere are both uplifting and empowering. Contemporary, fun, inspirational, and informative- all rolled into one. An added bonus: Delicious food trucks nearby. Artpace is proof that you dont have to go far and spend a ton of money to enjoy meaningful experiences. 100% recommend .

They also have community activities often for families and teens, tours if you schedule 2 weeks ahead and educational archives waiting in the back for you to pour over!
