SAN ANTONIO — The City of San Antonio’s Department of Arts & Culture announced they have been approved by the National Endowment of Arts (NEA) for a Grants for Arts Projects award of $30,000 for public art maintenance.

The city intends to use the grant money to support the maintenance of “World Walk”, a piece of art from 2017 that features colored tabs along a chain-linked fence and concrete designs on a pedestrian bridge over Poteet Jourdanton Freeway in Council District 4.

“The NEA is proud to continue our nearly 60 years of supporting the efforts of organizations and artists that help to shape our country’s vibrant arts sector and communities of all types across our nation,” said NEA Chair Maria Rosario Jackson, PhD. “It is inspiring to see the wide range of creative projects taking place, including this public art restoration project in San Antonio.”
