Little Texan, Big World

This exhibit features artwork by participants in the City of San Antonio’s Parks & Recreation youth centers. Through storytelling, film, photography and more, area youth explore their own identities through examining their cultural, social and familial experiences. The exhibit focuses on how the student artists view themselves at Texans and how they see themselves in relation to the rest of the world.

Student projects include photography, shadow boxes and statement pieces, created by students ranging from kindergarten to sixth grade, at Parks and Recreation centers across the city, under the direction of three different art directors.

Project components are designed to help students contemplate their place in the community, their place in Texas, and their place in a larger world.
