San Antonio African American Community Archive and Museum (SAAACAM)

The San Antonio African American Community Archive and Museum (SAAACAM) is a community-driven institution committed to collecting, preserving, and sharing the histories of African-descendant communities in San Antonio and the greater Southwest. Through exhibitions, oral histories, educational programs, and public events, SAAACAM expands cultural understanding and strengthens our city's historical narrative. As we prepare to open a 100,000-square-foot cultural center — including 30,000 square feet of exhibition space — SAAACAM is poised to advance cultural tourism, economic empowerment, and lifelong learning throughout the region.

San Antonio Museum of Art

The San Antonio Museum of Art is the only major museum in the region that is global. We serve as a forum to explore and connect with art that spans the world's geographies, artistic periods, genres, and cultures. Our collection contains more than 30,000 works representing 5,000 years of history. Housed in the historic Lone Star Brewery on the Museum Reach of San Antonio's River Walk, the San Antonio Museum of Art is committed to promoting the rich cultural heritage and life of the city. In the past year, we served 312 schools and 10 colleges and universities, and we hosted over 600 exhibition-collection-and audience-based initiatives year, with programming anchored in cross-cultural exchange, intergenerational engagement, and multimodal learning. In the past year, we also partnered with 47 civic and cultural organizations. Special, signature initiatives include Haven for Hope, and ReCollections, in which we partner with UT Center for Brain Health, the Alzheimer's Association of San Antonio and South Texas, and Meals on Wheels. SAMA, in short, is one of the cultural gems of not just San Antonio and South Texas, but Texas and the nation more broadly.
