JULY 17, 2024 — UTSA has reached a milestone in matching funds from a $500,000 grant made by the Kronkosky Charitable Foundation to support and expand UTSA Arts’ Young Artist Programs. By adding matching gifts from other local and national foundations over the past year, the grant from the Kronkosky Charitable Foundation will yield a total gift commitment of $750,000.
UTSA Arts was established in 2022 to support community arts education, public-facing performances and exhibitions, and arts-based research and partnerships that enhance the accessibility of the arts for the general public. UTSA Arts’ Young Artist Programs provide high quality visual arts education services primarily to low-income children and teens in San Antonio.
In FY 2023, the Young Artist Programs served 2,500 K-12 students, and significant growth is expected in FY 2024. The funding will also enable UTSA to create thriving and vibrant new course offerings.
