    Your Generosity Has Changed Your World

    Since 2003, our Foundation has raised over $38 million dollars from individuals and organizations in our community. That money was reinvested to enhance your San Antonio River experience. Our project partners —San Antonio River Authority, Bexar CountyCity of San Antonio, and US Army Corps of Engineers— have invested over $384 million in river improvements for our community. Together, our investments have added over $1.5 billion in economic impact through adjacent private investment and development.

    Thank You for Your Continued Support

    I-35 Overpass near Camden Street

    It’s hard not to smile at Philadelphia artist Donald Lipski’s school of giant fish swimming through the sky beneath the interstate overpass. The cluster of 25 seven-foot-long creatures of hand-painted fiberglass resin are anatomically correct models of long-eared sunfish, native to the river. Impressive by day and stunningly lit from within at night, the glowing fish are a beacon from blocks away, adding color and levity to a once neglected downtown area. A 26th fish is on display in The DoSeum, San Antonio's Museum for Kids, offering an up-close view of the installation’s vibrant detailing.

    Nature of Art Camp 2023

    ***Registration Full***

    Nature of Art is a camp like no other!

    Nature of Art is a weeklong program offered in partnership with the UTSA School of Art. This art and science-based nature camp is held at Confluence Park where students can learn about nature and science through creative based practices led by local artists and educators.

    Each day, students will learn about a different theme tied into the ecosystem of the river, park, and the communities we live in. Much of the day will be spent making artwork that reflects our interest in the natural world. We will use clay, fabric, and paint, work together and individually; learn to look and pay attention to things we may have overlooked before. Students should expect to spend time by the river, climbing, jumping, and walking outside.

    Each day will have a full schedule with several art projects, writing or storytelling time, lunch, a time to play, and a discussion. On some days we will have an environmental or scientific ambassador come and share their knowledge with us. Our emphasis is on creating art and building art skills, stewarding our San Antonio River, creating a supportive and kind community, and expressing ourselves while learning by observation and imagination.

    Program Information:

    Tuition is $125 per student for the week. Transportation is not provided to or from the program. Participants will need to bring their own lunch and water bottle. Snacks will be provided. Aftercare is provided free of charge from 4:15 – 5:30PM.
