Alamo City Arts

Alamo City Arts is a multidisciplinary nonprofit committed to providing inclusive education in dance, music, and theater while producing accessible, high-quality performances.

Grant Focus:

Impact SA funding would primarily support teaching artists, musicians, conductors, and arts educators who directly deliver Arts Connect programming through student performances and afterschool instruction. Funding would also support program-related costs including music, educational materials, costumes, ASL interpretation services, and TEKS-aligned curriculum development to enhance accessibility and educational impact. Alamo City Arts already owns portions of the production inventory, including some costumes, drops, and performance elements, allowing funds to focus on direct program delivery and expansion.

High Impact Grant

Grant Impact:

Arts Connect will expand access to performing arts experiences and arts education for underserved elementary and middle school students across Bexar and Guadalupe Counties. The program will increase annual student participation from approximately 10,000 to 15,000 students through TEKS-aligned in-school performances, afterschool arts programs in Title I schools, and community ticket access initiatives. The project will provide students with greater exposure to symphony, concert band, ballet, folklórico, and mariachi while increasing opportunities for sustained arts engagement.
