At Alamo City Arts, we believe the arts are more than performance; they are a powerful force for connection, healing, and transformation. Through Arts Connect, our community outreach initiative, we bring dance, music, and theater directly to people and places that need them most. Whether in schools, shelters, senior living facilities, or military bases, our programs break down barriers and open doors to artistic experiences that uplift, empower, and unite.

By reaching individuals regardless of financial means, physical ability, or life circumstances, Arts Connect fosters joy, resilience, and creativity throughout the San Antonio region.
We invite you to explore how our programs connect the community and how you can support this essential work.​
