Any local who loves posing in front of the city’s wide variety of public art can now do so with more ease than ever.
The city’s Department of Arts & Culture knows how much locals love exploring art throughout the 2-1-0, so officials decided to compile a map of all of its public art pieces. Now, because the map is from the city department, it won’t include every mural or creative tagging you can find throughout the city, but it does include more than 600 pieces of art that are the product of the city’s efforts.

Any time that composer and violinist Darian Donovan Thomas takes on a project whether it’s premiering a new work he’s created or touring with acclaimed singer-songwriter Moses Sumney he tries to work with people he likes.
“I kind of make it a rule to not work with people I’m not friends with,” said Thomas, 27, a San Antonio native who now lives in New York. “Even if it means losing out on money and stuff like that, I’m fine with that. Because I would just rather work with people I know and who know me, and work with people where I know the energy in the room will be right so that we can all push further.
