Artpace San Antonio — Attraction in San Antonio

It's 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. Wasn't 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 didn't 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...

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...

A win! It's impossible to get bored in San Antonio with outstanding places like Artpace. It's 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 (artist's 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 don't have to go far and spend a ton of money to enjoy meaningful experiences. 100%...
