The Arts & Culture Vision aims at making San Antonio a world leader as a creative arts community by 2020:

San Antonio reflects a diverse range of artistic expression that builds on our rich cultural heritage. The arts are integral to our way of life for citizens of all ages and backgrounds. Public and private support spurs a renaissance of artistic creativity where a vibrant cultural economy flourishes. Contemporary art reflects the dynamic nature of San Antonio’s artistic, literary and cultural communities and movements.

How Will We Get There?

    • Raise the level of attendance at arts programs
    • Raise the level of funding for the arts
    • Increase the number of national/international press mentions
    • Increase economic impact of the arts
    • Double the number of people employed in the arts
    • Increase the number of creative activities, including public arts
