Art changes lives. We’ve been proving it since 2005.
Bihl Haus Arts is a San Antonio nonprofit built on a simple conviction: that every person, given the chance, will grow — personally, socially, and culturally — through the arts. For over two decades, we’ve made that chance free and accessible to the communities that need it most.
We operate three free community education programs — GO! Arts for older adults at senior centers across the city, Forward Arts for veterans/military families, and Onward Arts for neurodivergent adults — and we host the annual On and Off Fredericksburg Road Studio Tour, now in its 18th year as a cornerstone of San Antonio’s arts corridor.
We do all of this from a place unlike any other: a restored 1920 German stone residence on the grounds of Sorento Apartments(formerlyPrimrose at Monticello Park), the only professional nonprofit contemporary art gallery on the premises of affordable senior housing in the United States.

Veteran’s Day – Art Exhibition & Market
Opening November 11th @ 5:30pm
Bihl Haus Arts is proud to present our 1st annual Veterans Day Art Exhibition and Market, marking a new tradition as we expand our past veterans’ exhibits into a dedicated annual celebration. This vibrant community event highlights the incredible talent of local artists across all mediums, with a special focus on showcasing artwork by local veteran artists as well as students from our Forward! Arts veterans program. Join us inside the Sorento apartment gates at 2803 Fredericksburg Road for an evening of community, culture, and connection. In addition to the inspiring art exhibition and market, attendees can enjoy live music and free food as we come together to honor and support our veterans and local creative community.
The Mission of community-based Bihl Haus Arts, Inc.—Creating Community through the Arts—is founded on the belief that each person, when given a chance, will achieve significant personal, social, and cultural growth through the arts. Bihl Haus Arts nurtures and promotes the work of diverse visual and cultural artists in San Antonio and creates community between older adults and veterans, and area established and emerging artists.
