On an historic campus alongside San Antonio ’s meandering River Walk, the Southwest School of Art & Craft is one of the country’s largest community-based art schools, offering classes to established artists as well as to beginning and intermediate students of all ages.


While the Southwest School of Art & Craft is a place to discover the rewards of actively creating, it is also the site of significant contemporary art exhibitions, public programs and visiting artist workshops, and a historic landmark of regional and national importance.
