Sonic Passage
Bill Fontana
Jones Avenue Underpass and Bridge
San Francisco sound pioneer and artist Bill Fontana recorded bird calls, crickets, croaking bullfrogs, buzzing insects, rushing water and manmade sounds all along the San Antonio River for this “call of the wild” audio installation. The unique public art work sparks mental images of life along the river, from the serene to the thrilling.
The San Antonio River Foundation commissioned and funded public artworks for the benefit of our community and in support of our partners in the $384M San Antonio River Improvements Project. All works along the Mission Reach have been donated to the City of San Antonio’s public art collection in perpetuity.
