The Foundation is the creation of Bettie Ward and Patricia Pratchett. As founders they share a vision of a community where artists help shape the identity of our area by influencing how we look, sound and feel both to residents and visitors. In every sector of town the influence of artists should be evident in public art, galleries, school art programs, symphonic and conjunto music, private collections and community centers. That is to say, art is manifest; art is expected in everyday life. To make this happen, the individual artist must be assured continued opportunities and support.

à la carte

On TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 2011 the Artist Foundation of San Antonio staged a one day only event at area restaurants called à la carte. Proceeds assisted the Artist Foundation to continue its mission “to enrich our artistic and economic fabric by providing monetary awards to individual artists, across diverse disciplines, thereby advancing their creative enterprise and the arts in our community”.
Everyone wins! Restaurants, diners, and artists alike!
