Giving

Serving more than 4000 children in schools and community centers each year through our Mobile Arts Program. For more than 40 years, award-winning Saturday Morning Discovery has introduced art-making to generations of San Antonio children and families — for free. Each summer, more than 100 talented children receive a scholarship to our Summer Art Camp. Thanks to generous donors, we were selected to receive the annual Clara Driscoll Award, Texas' highest accolade for long-term commitment to historic preservation. We're open 7 days a week, 14 hours a day, with more than 200,000 people on campus during a year. Our exhibitions -- more than 20 a year, typically -- are always free and open to the public. Each year, we collaborate with around 120 different social service centers, school and cultural groups on many diverse programs. With our 50th anniversary due in 2015, we continue to be financially stable while expanding our reputation, preserving our historic facilities, and adding a BFA degree in 2013. Donors enjoy supporting the SSA at our three annual fundraisers — Gala in the Garden and Art Sale, Savor the Arts, and Fiesta Arts Fair. City leaders attribute our efforts from the 1970s until now to significantly contributing to the revitalization of our urban neighborhood. With the help of generous donors, the more than $20 million invested in preserving our historic site means that it will be enjoyed by generations to come. The quality and popularity of our visual arts classes contribute right around $1,000,000 annually in wages to working artists, locally and regionally. Our intensive studio painting program for teens, “Bee Nation,” has changed lives. Fiesta Arts Fair is one of San Antonio’s favorite ways to help support all of the SSA’s non-profit art programs.
