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.
