SAN ANTONIO - It's a way to transform our city into a more active and vibrant place. Local artists have been selected to help revitalize our Downtown area. Public Art San Antonio says the art exhibits will be placed in different storefronts and the locations of them will be temporary.
"I spent some time on Commerce Street walking around to get a feel for it -- even talked to store owners," said local artist Mat Kubo.
That's what helped Mat decide on his creation. On Commerce near St. Mary's Street you'll find images of people who work on Commerce Street stenciled into the plywood.
Kubo says, "If you look at the images, the dark areas are cut out of wood. It's a stencil-type techique."
If you are interested in viewing the public art and need a map of where they are located or if you are a local artist and would like to submit an application to have your artwork displayed in a storefront, you can find all the information at
