    Your Generosity Has Changed Your World

    Since 2003, our Foundation has raised over $38 million dollars from individuals and organizations in our community. That money was reinvested to enhance your San Antonio River experience. Our project partners —San Antonio River Authority, Bexar CountyCity of San Antonio, and US Army Corps of Engineers— have invested over $384 million in river improvements for our community. Together, our investments have added over $1.5 billion in economic impact through adjacent private investment and development.

    Thank You for Your Continued Support

    I-35 Overpass near Camden Street

    It’s hard not to smile at Philadelphia artist Donald Lipski’s school of giant fish swimming through the sky beneath the interstate overpass. The cluster of 25 seven-foot-long creatures of hand-painted fiberglass resin are anatomically correct models of long-eared sunfish, native to the river. Impressive by day and stunningly lit from within at night, the glowing fish are a beacon from blocks away, adding color and levity to a once neglected downtown area. A 26th fish is on display in The DoSeum, San Antonio's Museum for Kids, offering an up-close view of the installation’s vibrant detailing.

    Talleres for Dreaming: Spring Equinox Celebration

    Join us for a dinner at Confluence Park to celebrate the Spring Equinox, prepared by Veronica Castillo and the San Antonio Cohort from Talleres for Dreaming.

    *Note: Dinner tickets are sold out, but the remainder of the event is free and open to the public.

    San Anto: Un Taller for Dreaming is a performance lab that explores artistic and creative processes driven by the insurgent possibility of collective dreaming. Facilitated by Marissa Ramirez, the 5 month taller included guest workshops by innovative artists whose work is deeply rooted in radical imagination and convivial practice, including LA based set designer Tanya Orellana, theatre maker Virginia Grise, Mexican artist Karla Kopalli and world renowned ceramist and cultural worker Veronica Castillo. The taller focused on the study of land, ecology and autonomy through facilitated conversations, curated gatherings, and art-making workshops that honor the lived realities, daily practices, rooted wisdoms and embodied knowledge of local communities, culminating in a communal dinner celebrating the 2023 Spring Equinox.

    A project of a todo dar productions, created in collaboration with Books in the Barrio, Galeria E.V.A, and Terra Advocati. Funded in part by an individual artist grant from City of San Antonio Department of Arts & Culture and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation’s National Playwright Residency Program administered in partnership with HowlRound Theatre Commons. Additional funding provided by the San Antonio River Authority Foundation and UTSA’s Urban Bird Project.

    Note: This event is free and open to the public. The dinner is reservation only.
