SAN ANTONIO — Downtown San Antonio is getting more colorful with new public art sculptures along West Commerce Street that highlight the connection between nature and the heart of the city.
On Wednesday, May 20, city leaders unveiled two new sculptures in the Zona Cultural District, alongside City Council District 1 and the Capital Delivery Department.
One of the installations, “Creatures of the Creek: A Fragile Balance” by Diana Kersey are sculptures made of clay that celebrate the creatures found in and around San Pedro Creek. You can find the artwork alongside the downtown Goodwill at 406 West Commerce St.
“Metro Radiance” sits in the median at Santa Rosa and Commerce streets. The artist, RHYS, incorporated colorful architectural glass that catches shifting sunlight throughout the day.
“These two pieces of public art offer memory-making opportunities to both visitors and residents through interactive elements,” Krystal Jones, Department of Arts & Culture Director said. “‘Creatures of the Creek’ includes a spot to take selfies, and ‘Metro Radiance’ creates unique, illuminating experiences from every angle throughout the day.”
Officials say the projects are meant to create more walkable and inviting spaces while also highlighting the cultural vibrancy of environments within San Pedro Creek and the Zona Cultural District.
