At the Department of Arts & Culture, we understand the value and vitality the arts bring to our community – and beyond. San Antonio's arts community depends on the hard work of many, including many nonprofit arts agencies.
With your help, we can assist San Antonio nonprofit arts agencies in continuing their mission to bring arts and culture to all. We will add your donation to our operational grant program. It will directly support a diverse portfolio of art organizations. They work across the City of San Antonio to create ongoing, sustainable, and high-quality artistic activities.

Each year, the City of San Antonio features a piece of public art in the Department of Arts & Culture's collection as its official Fiesta medal. This year's medal features El Papalote (The Kite) by San Antonio artist Joe R. Villarreal. The kite is made from the newspaper La Prensa, the first and oldest bilingual publication in the state of Texas. This sculpture, along with its companion piece, El Trompo (The Top), serves as a monumental emblem of childhood play. Children's games and nostalgia are central themes in Villarreal's distinguished career. An artist since 1957, his work speaks to the rich multicultural heritage of San Antonio's Westside.
