Hello Wednesday. April 24 2024 
When you think of San Antonio, what comes to mind? Maybe tacos, los Spurs, or the Alamo — but what about art?
The San Antonio Street Art Initiative (SASAI) is looking to make San Antonio an art destination by creating the largest outdoor gallery in Texas. 
You're looking at the Best Nonprofit Project of the Year winner. | 📸 : @sanantoniostreetart Founded in 2018, SASAI is an artist-run, independent nonprofit that is striving to embrace and has been a champion for public art spaces. It has since completed 62 murals and advocated for the careers of 46 SA-based artists.
While SASAI has already completed an impressive amount of murals around the city, building the largest outdoor gallery in the state is no easy feat. In order to accomplish its goal, the project was split into several phases.
Here’s a breakdown... of those breakdowns: 
This artwork is giving Sa(n Antonio)lvador Dali. | 📸 : @sanantoniostreetart Phase I launched on Nov. 3, 2018 under the highway at St. Mary’s Street + Quincy. A total of 16 artists collaborated to transform this space into one of the newest landmarks in San Antonio. To get a sense of the scale of this project, we recommend you watch the Phase I recap video — skip to the 36 second mark to view the project in all its glory.
Phase II was launched on Mar. 30, 2019 spanning across 13 city blocks down N. St. Mary’s St. San Antonio OG’s know this as the true nightlife and live music scene. However, SASAI took to its brushes to give The Strip a fresh new coat + encourage more day foot traffic. Check out the digital mural map for Phase II. Editor Ivan’s personal favorite is one by SA artist @deletedtx depicting a surrealist Chihuahua floating over a seascape amongst an array of purple cacti — yeah, you read that right.
