Artpace San Antonio

Artpace is housed in an 18,000 square foot facility renovated by the eminent San Antonio firm Lake/Flato Architects. The 1920’s building, once a Hudson automobile dealership, is located in the vibrant downtown cultural district, one block from San Antonio’s famous River Walk. Through its International Artist-in-Residence program, Hudson (Show)Room exhibitions, WindowWorks projects, and ArtElements educational outreach, Artpace contributes to the city’s vital cultural life by providing access to contemporary art exhibitions and a diverse array of free programs for artists, students, and adults.
