After learning about one of the largest school shootings in U.S history, just 90 miles from his home, Michael Sanchez rushed to Uvalde to create a special mural in honor of the victims.  “I just wanted to give back to the city of Uvalde,” said 41-year-old San Antonio artist, Michael Sanchez. His artwork is located on 1200 West Main Street, just a block away from a local cemetery where some of the victims are being laid to rest. 

The Martinez Street Women’s Center, the Antioch Missionary Baptist Church, and the San Anto Cultural Arts (SACA) completed a mural depicting and honoring local African American women and their inspiring contributions and lives while living in the East Side of San Antonio. 

Art tells a story. If “Spring Scene of Texas Hill Country” could speak, this iconic mural painted by renowned San Antonio artist Porfirio Salinas would tell an extraordinary tale punctuated by chapters of resolve, triumph and now a majestic future. Today, the Witte Museum proudly announces that this historic Texas landscape mural, after surviving a 4-alarm fire in 2011, has been placed in its new home inside the new Mays Family Center.

Starbucks and Goodwill Industries of San Antonio commemorated the one-year anniversary of a unique partnership in support of veterans by unveiling plans for a new mural by distinguished, local artist Jesse Treviño. (See photos from the event below).

San Anto Cultural Arts, in collaboration with Memorial Branch Library, is doing a mural dedicated to all the abuelitas, tias, mothers, and daughters of the West Side of San Antonio.If you have any photos or memories that you wish to contribute to this project, call (210) 226-7466 or e-mail cristina@sananto.org.
