Thanks to the generosity of many talented artists — local, regional, and nationally recognized — this year’s sale will once again feature a diverse selection of compelling works by highly accomplished creators. We’re deeply grateful to the participating artists and galleries, who are donating a portion of the proceeds to support UTSA Arts at the Southwest Campus. Their generosity helps us continue to celebrate and elevate the arts in our community.
