Established in 1718 as Mission San Antonio de Valero, for over 300 years, the former mission now known as the Alamo has been a crossroads of history. Having existed under six flags of independent nations and served as a garrison for five different armies, the Alamo has a rich history and a heritage to inspire all Texans. Although the site is best known as the site of the 1836 Battle of the Alamo, all 300 years of Alamo history are vital to our story.

José Antonio Navarro was an influential political figure during the momentous 55 years (1810–1865) when Texas’ destiny was forged. Navarro served in Texas legislatures under Mexico, the Republic of Texas and the state of Texas. In addition, he served on the committees that wrote the first two Texas constitutions in 1836 and 1845. Although a prominent, influential leader, Navarro was not a professional politician. As a young man he learned the merchant trade, the occupation of his father. Factories from the United States and Europe sent ships loaded with merchandise to New Orleans, where Navarro arranged to import books, cloth, clothing, wine, sugar, rice and coffee. Navarro also earned a living through land investment. During the 1830s, he purchased more than 50,000 acres of ranch land at a price of pennies per acre. Because thousands of people were immigrating into Texas, the demand for land increased. Navarro sold portions of his land holdings for up to three dollars per acre. His San Antonio rental properties also produced income. His wife Margarita de la Garza was also a native of San Antonio. Between 1817 and 1837, she bore four sons and three daughters. Numerous descendants live in and around San Antonio, with many more scattered throughout the country. The mission of Casa Navarro is to preserve and maintain the historical integrity of the site’s buildings, while interpreting 19th-century Tejano culture through the life and times of José Antonio Navarro. Casa Navarro State Historic Site is a Texas Historical Commission (THC) property. The THC’s mission is to protect and preserve the state's historic and prehistoric resources for the use, enjoyment and economic benefit of present and future generations.

Three Walls is an artist-run contemporary art gallery in San Antonio, TX. In the 13 years it has been in operation, there have been over 100 exhibitions of local, national, and international contemporary artists. Three Walls has garnered national press by being covered in Art In America, Artlies, and Art Issues, as well as regular coverage in local and regional press. The mission of Three Walls is to encourage exhibiting artists to take risks with their work that they may not take in a commercial gallery, as well as to foster critical dialog in the community. Artist-run alternative spaces like Three Walls propel art and artists forward in their evolution and process of discovery. In 2012, Three Walls lost its long-time location in Blue Star Contemporary Art Center and has found new life and a new direction as a roving pop-up space that takes on special projects. In 2014 director Michele Monseau received an Idea Fund grant (funded by the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts) to mount an exchange exhibition between Three Walls and Centro Cultural Border in Mexico City.
An art space in the Historical Southtown Arts District that supports contemporary artists in the visual arts. Our mission is to foster creativity and art excellence and to provide exhibition space to new and established artists.
The River Art Group is one of the largest and finest artist groups in the country. The River Art Group is housed in the historic Florian House within historic La Villita in downtown San Antonio, Texas. The art group was formed during the summer of 1947, when two small groups of San Antonio artists had the notion of doing a combined art show on the refurbished San Antonio Riverwalk. The hard work ...and total dedication from so many of the members over the years has contributed immeasurably to the longevity of our self-supporting organization. All activities are directed and executed by members, including the daily operation of the gallery. Having their art showcased daily in our La Villita gallery is a primary reason so many local artists apply for membership. Some 350 River Art Group artists work in a wide variety of media. In the gallery you will see work in acrylic, oil, watercolor, pen and ink, pastel, photography, clay, metal and more. Some artists also offer fine art reproductions of their work.
The Mexican Cultural Institute at San Antonio , Texas, is the Permanent Cultural Representation of the Mexican Government in this city. This Institute has been linked since its beginnings to the cultural life of San Antonio, and so, one of our main tasks is to ensure the growth and strengthening of such link by promoting a direct and active participation of the community. The creation of the Mexican Cultural Institute is the product of a great effort by the Mexican Government that began in 1958 with the foundation of the “Gallery of Mexican Art” at the General Mexican Consulate of San Antonio, Texas. In 1968 the Instituto Cultural de Mexico displayed a large amount of examples of Mexican art at the “Hemisfair 1968”; and in 1972 the Mayor of the city of San Antonio presented the Mexican President with the current facilities of the Instituto Cultural de Mexico at San Antonio. This Institute depends directly from the General Office of Cultural Affairs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Over its 50 years of existence at Hemisfair Park, the Instituto Cultural de Mexico has been able to maintain an important place on the cultural life of San Antonio, thanks to its wide range of events designed to show the many faces of the Mexican culture. For this purpose, the Instituto has three galleries, a multiple purpose room and an auditorium that can hold up to 250 people.
The venue provides numerous indoor and outdoor settings for any type of event. From weddings to corporate meetings to galas and social gatherings, the Jack Guenther Pavilion at the Briscoe Western Art Museum can be completely customized to fit your event. With convenient access to the San Antonio River Walk, guests can enjoy a beautiful view from any of the three floors of the venue space.
