The founders of the San Antonio Art League sought to achieve a three-fold goal; to provide artists with a place to exhibit their works, to acquire paintings for the public’s enjoyment, and to establish an art school. The mission of the San Antonio Art League is to maintain an art museum in order to preserve and exhibit their collection of local and regional art, and to promote art by means of exhibitions, lectures, and other related activities. The museum is free and open to the public.
