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 can't hand anything on the walls if there are no walls. But they could invest in sculpture work, if there's any of that to be had around.

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.

a valued, cherished free public exhibit space that rotates its displayed pieces occasionally so we come back often to enjoy a day in southtown! loved the interactive question & answer wall near the entrance. thank you for remaining free to the public despite the challenges our community has faced over the last year.

BVOCAL4LOCAL exhibit "When a Mind Wanders" by artist Jason Willome. What an amazing peak into a wave chicane. Calming. Exciting. Rushing. Melting. We were only two walking through so that added to the immersion. Take your time. Take it in.
