If you think there's nothing to do in the city of San Angelo, you're wrong. You just have to know where to look. Why don't you start with our arts calendar? Whether you love music, dance, theater, history or the visual arts, you'll find something that will capture your imagination. It's jam-packed. You're only a click away from an artistic adventure.
Art has been central to life in San Angelo since the 1880s, when a group of pioneer women held a play to raise money for a town clock.
Today, in San Angelo, we enjoy: - A world-class museum that received the prestigious National Museum Service Award;
- A sophisticated symphony that showcases artists such as the Vienna Choir Boys;
- A civic ballet whose students regularly earn spots at top national dance academies;
- The state’s longest running civic theatre;
- A historic frontier fort that once housed the legendary Buffalo Soldiers;
- The cultural offerings of a dynamic university;
- A converted chicken farm that is home to artists and a rollicking celebration known as “First Saturday.”
And, then there are our other treasures -- artistic alleys, historic murals, internationally acclaimed waterlillies, and nearby Native American petroglyphs. Of course, art, no matter how good, can't be delivered like pizza. To fully appreciate an artful experience, you have to get out of your chair, get in gear, and pARTake. stART now. be a pART of San Angelo's heART. pARTicipate.
