Artist of the Quarter | Discover San Angelo | Visual Arts Capital of Texas

Discover San Angelo is thrilled to introduce the revamped Artist of the Quarter program, an exciting initiative aimed at celebrating the vibrant arts community of San Angelo, Texas. Each quarter, we will showcase the work of a local artist whose creativity and talent embody the spirit of our city’s rich cultural heritage. From painters to sculptors, each featured artist will have their artwork prominently displayed in the visitors center, offering residents and tourists alike a glimpse into the diverse and dynamic world of San Angelo’s visual arts scene. Join us as we highlight the Cowboys and Creatives who call San Angelo home, and experience the beauty and ingenuity of their creations firsthand.

The program will feature artwork from a specific medium each quarter, with the medium rotation determined in advance.

• Q1 Medium (Jan-March)
• Q2 Medium (April-June)
• Q3 Medium (July-September)
• Q4 Medium (October-December)

Artists interested in being considered for the Artist of the Quarter title will nominate themselves by submitting their work for review. For a complete list of terms and qualifications, download the file below.
