In 1955 the San Antonio College Art Department was established with an annual enrollment of fewer than 300 students and one full-time art instructor. The building assigned to the department was a refitted garage. Today, the department, with an annual enrollment that tops 3,600, occupies the Visual Arts & Technology Center, a 32,000 square foot state-of-the-art building which opened in 1991. Here faculty and students enjoy a learning environment that integrates a two story instructional gallery with visual arts studios, lecture theater, and multi-media production workstations. The studios for ceramic and jewelry arts are nestled in the carriage house and cellar of the Koehler Cultural Center, an historic Victorian mansion just one block from the Visual Arts & Technology Center.
Southwest School of Art & Craft
From cloistered convent to contemporary art school, the buildings of the Old Ursuline Academy, now known as the Southwest School of Art & Craft, (School) possess a rich history. The park-like grounds and historical buildings, located on the scenic River Walk in downtown San Antonio, is a model of the re-use of historical sites. Today, the Southwest School of Art & Craft has earned a reputation for it's innovative and comprehensive art curriculum that offers educational programs for adults and children in the disciplines of Ceramics, Fibers, Metals, Papermaking, Photography and Surface Design.
