Southtown Culture

Southtown Culture Southtown is a garden for creative seeds. We are home to First Friday & Second Saturday, the city's longest running artwalks. Welcome to Southtown! United we Art!

The 5 neighborhoods: Collins Garden, King William, Lavaca, Lone Star & Roosevelt host San Antonio's diversity in arts & culture. A Garden for Creative Seeds. District Mission

To cultivate community by creating sustainable opportunities for artists that reside and work here. A Garden For Creative Seeds

Artists grow neighborhoods. When an artist takes root in a community their reach is deep and me

aningful, affecting neighbors, schools and the surrounding environment. Southtown Culture has five neighborhoods -- Collins Garden, King William, Lavaca, Lone Star and Roosevelt. These beautiful neighborhoods host San Antonio’s diversity in arts & culture. We believe fostering sustainable opportunities for artists sows the seeds for healthy communities to grow and thrive. Southtown in its organic development is home to the city’s longest running Art-walks: (20 years of) First Friday, Second Saturday, and our annual festival "A Day in Southtown". Support

Like any healthy garden, Southtown requires attention. Housing, as well as work spaces, are an integral ingredient in cultivating our creative community; your contribution strengthens this area specifically. Join us in keeping our garden productive, healthy, and sustainable for existing and future artists that choose to live and work here! Boundaries: North to South: Cesár Chavez to I-90.
