The San Antonio Street Art Initiative: A Vision for a More Colorful City
Founded with the goal of empowering local artists and making street art accessible to all, SASAI has already left a lasting imprint on San Antonio. The initiative has curated over 80+ large-scale murals, many of which can be found in prominent locations across the city.
Their work isn’t just about beautifying walls; it’s about telling stories, preserving cultural heritage, and supporting local talent.
Meet the Leaders: Burgundy Woods and Shek Vega
Two key figures have played an instrumental role in SASAI’s success:
Burgundy Woods, a creative director and community arts advocate, has been a driving force behind the initiative’s growth and public engagement efforts.
Shek Vega, a renowned muralist and urban artist, has helped bridge the gap between traditional art and street culture, ensuring that public art in San Antonio remains authentic and community-driven.
Together, they’ve helped elevate San Antonio’s street art scene, bringing in both local and international recognition.
