About the Art Featured on this Site

All of the artworks highlighted on this website are from UTSA's world-class collection of Latinx artists, many of them San Antonio natives. 

These pieces were all featured in VOZ: Selections from the UTSA Art Collection, an exhibit co-presented by UTSA and the City of San Antonio Department of Arts & Culture in as part of the city's 2018 Tricentennial celebration. The exhibit, which ran from February-June of that year at the Centro de Artes Gallery in San Antonio's historic Market Square, offered insight to the culture, history and explorations of identity that have shaped the our community, helping to create the modern metropolis we all share.

Since its founding in 1969, UTSA has recognized the value of artistic expression as a key part of fostering a learning community of excellence. The UTSA Art Collection, now numbering over 3,000 works, is the legacy of that long-held tradition. For those of us who work and study on UTSA’s campuses, the collection is part of our everyday lives. Many of the works hang on the walls of the John Peace Library, but they also grace the corridors of just about every building on our campuses, making the whole university a museum that celebrates creativity.
