Mural District Bike Tour

Event Rating:
Guided Bike Tour of Mural Art
The San Anto Cultural Arts mural tour will captivate and enlighten you with personal stories of artists and beautiful public art pieces that compliment the organic beauty of one of the oldest and more historic areas of our city - San Antonio's Westside. The tour begins with an in-depth orientation on the history and programs of San Anto Cultural Arts, and the socio-economic and historical background of the neighborhoods encompassing the mural district. The tour continues through the neighborhoods of San Antonio's Westside as you view, investigate and learn about the process of the creation of each mural and the people who created these street masterpieces.

Take photos, shoot video, ask questions and go away with an experience of a life time.

San Anto Cultural Arts' Community Mural Project offers visitors and residents of San Antonio the opportunity to view and learn about the stunning murals and public art pieces created by youth and adult residents of San Antonio's Westside neighborhoods. Discover the beauty and importance of muralism as it relates to human and community development, and historical and cultural documentation and affirmation.

Through painting murals we have taught countless young people skills in 2-D design, drawing and painting. Participants work alongside professional artists and learn problem solving, the importance of creativity and build self-confidence as they hone their skills and abilities. This ain't no macaroni art! The murals produced by our program are real public art works. Many have become iconic symbols of the neighborhoods they represent. Our participants have gone on to pursue higher education and many have developed successful art careers. We will continue to provide arts education to the youth of our community by offering opportunities for them to learn from passionate and innovative, art professionals.
