I am currently looking for local, original art for my home and found this gallery in my research. Admission is free; there is an opportunity to donate to help support. Several rooms displayed the current exhibit in all open rooms. Guests are free to view at their leisure and it was surprisingly empty for a Saturday afternoon. Visit their online site for details of events, or for open artist calls.

The exhibitions here are consistently punching above their weight. I hope San Antonio truly appreciates what they have in this institution. I wish there were more artist/curator talks and exhibition-associated programming, but given the scale of their operation, theyre doing an outstanding job!

I liked a couple pieces in the museum, but it was small. I felt like they needed more pieces that really showed off their gallery to the extent that it was, but it felt like most pieces were student works. My favorite piece was the stitched composition notebooks. Those took a lot of work and energy to make. They had a message and were a big piece. Maybe I just hate the open room concept of modern spaces. You cant hand anything on the walls if there are no walls. But they could invest in sculpture work, if theres any of that to be had around. Maybe they could hang panes of glass and then hang artwork from the glass. I dunno, but they should think of something. There was Mexican artist with a single painting up. There were several tapestries, and several small pictures in the main gallery.

Not exactly Kid Friendly Went for a kids activities day, only to find ourselves in a room with art portraying male and female nudity in the first room, and one of the drawings was pretty much from a gynecologists point of view...so definitely NOT kid appropriate. It was a great idea for the activities, but I dont think it was a good idea to take the kids. Pretty much just steered clear of that area. Wont be going back.

Always a fresh new interesting exhibit. The exhibits are curated to develop a theme that is in line with the message the museum is offering. The exibitions are always presented in a way that the gallery patron is entertained but challenged to learn the message the artist is trying to convey. Check the museums hours before deciding on a visit, the museum is dark during some periods for exhibition installation.

This was only our second visit but again loved the unique art on display. In addition, the surrounding art complex has many art offerings as well as food. NOTE: directly behind the complex is the San Antonio RIVERWALK which I consider one of the best urban amenities in the world. Have posted a few pictures of the birds I saw as I walked downtown on the river.

The art here is so far out there, I feel it s insulting to art in a way. Clothes baskets full of blankets toys and books sitting on the end of a teeter totter. A table with a movie of dinner plates being broken with a hammer projected on the table top. If you enjoy plain canvases with a dot, you may like it, but to me it was more performance art or political statement than visual art.
