Say Si is a creative space for middle and high school students. My daughter is enrolled in the…read moremiddle school program that is held on Saturdays. Going into her second year she never hesitates to go despite having to wake up early on a weekend. She is in art and theater where they are always brainstorming ideas for new projects and plays. The staff delves into topics that are relevant to their age group. Last year they tackled the subject of death. It was a sensitive topic but handled with much care and reverence by teachers. They keep parents informed about upcoming themes and events. Students are required to maintain good grades in school and must have good attendance. There is an application process and students are selected in order to attend. Some of their artwork goes on display in the galleries and is also for sale. This is a great way for students to learn about the business side of art. I'm proud to have my kid enrolled here. She has made friends from other parts of town, diverse backgrounds and lifestyles. They are an inclusive institution and make sure everyone feels accepted and welcome. If your child is creative I highly Recommend Say Sí.

I live in Southtown so therefore on first Friday I know where to wander to see the best art. This…read moreplace is amazing because many of the artists are youngsters and really put their heart into their work. If you're looking for great art pieces that don't beat your wallet up or just to tour a gallery on first Friday, go to say si. During first Friday they also have wine for free and cheese Cubes and fruit. Their art is usually thematic and that instructors also have a section of art. This place also has clean restrooms and usually a pop up will appear outside with food during first Friday such as panifco bake shop with cheesecakes, coffee and pan dulce(sweet bread). They also have an epic gallery of large loteria cards. Check it out!

There's 3D printers, wood, clay, tin, and fabric arts and it's just a cozy space. I live kind of far so I haven't signed up as a member yet but I've dropped in for one of their "clay play" days. A few times a month they host different events that non-members can pay a fee to drop in and try something out (I believe there's no fee for non-members but I also haven't studied their FAQs) For this particular one, it was $20 per person, they supply the clay and you can make whatever by hand or give the pottery wheel a spin and they'll take your info and text you to pickup once they've fired whatever pieces you leave behind. They do have people versed in the crafts they offer these classes in so you will have someone to offer some tips or support. I like trying different crafts but this is a really cool way to throw yourself into something new without just walking into a craft store and grabbing everything you'd need to get into a project on your own.

There's a bunch of galleries throughout the space. Each has a different theme to them with unique art. It's right by the train tracks on S Flores. Make sure you park on the south side of the tracks, because otherwise you could be waiting for a while to get your car! There are restrooms inside, but they're not really that clearly marked! I really appreciate the outdoor public art on the street corner of the motorcycle!

Thankfully there is always at least one piece involving Selena, which I am always thankful for. Outside there is usually some live music, along with food trucks if you get hungry. I really like that there are plenty of loungy spots to sit down to hang out and enjoy the music. Not as many people as first friday which can be a good thing. Definitely a cool part of San Antonio's art scene.

Backpacks, food and drinks must be placed in a locker at the carriage house before entering the house. Once inside, you are walking through history. It is amazing! There are a couple guides inside.

(I should also add that this is not a good place if you are bringing small kids- there is a significant amount of items and you must stay within the barriers and no touching).
