On Thursday, July 24, the Artpace Development team (armed with Kit-Kats and brochures) packed their bags and drove to the Valero Energy Corporation campus to participate, for the first time, in the Valero Arts Fair. The event is an opportunity for Valero employees to learn about and connect with San Antonio arts organizations.

Artpace represented alongside peer organizations including the Guadalupe Cultural Arts Center, the Magik Theatre, Texas Public Radio, the Network for Young Artists, and Youth Orchestras of San Antonio. The event not only provided Artpace the opportunity to share its mission and core values with Valero employees, but also served as a reminder of the dynamic and diverse community of arts organizations that are working to enhance the cultural vibrancy of San Antonio. So when you come downtown to visit Artpace, be sure to stay awhile and explore what other San Antonio arts institutions have to offer.

Thank you, Valero for organizing an event that highlights how lucky Artpace is to be located in a culturally rich and arts-supporting San Antonio.
