About the San Antonio

Art League & Museum

The San Antonio Art League was organized on March 13, 1912. It was founded
by volunteers, and 111 years later continues as a beloved, an all-volunteer
organization, carrying on the rich traditions and history of its founders while
providing contemporary exhibition opportunities for its member artists. Volunteers
also care for the extensive Permanent Collection, an invaluable record of the

cultural and social artwork of the city and the region. The San Antonio Art League
and Museum is a unique hybrid of past, present, and future.

Home for the San Antonio Art League & Museum (SAALM) is a venerable
building in the heart of the King William Historic District. Built in 1896, this

intimate house-turned-museum and gallery now houses over 600 works in its
permanent collection, which focuses on Texas artists. Works in all media -
including paintings, drawings, prints and photographs, ceramics and sculpture
- are available for public viewing. Revolving contemporary exhibits highlight

both local and regional artists, and represent the unique work of diverse Texas
talent. Notable Texan artists such as Robert and Julian Onderdonk, José Arpa,
Emma Richardson Cherry, E. G. Eisenlohr, Martha Mood, Charles Umlauf, and
Amy Freeman Lee are represented in the league’s diverse and highly respected

collection.

The San Antonio Art League is an all volunteer non-profit organization that is
supported by its membership and by donations.
