San Antonio is a city I enjoy visiting, and I have lived there briefly two separate times. Chalk It Up us a project of contemporary art gallery Artpace. Here I share some of my photos taken back in 2012. Even today – several years later – this Instagram photo set is among my favorites.

I agree with American for the Arts that:

“The arts are essential. They teach students innumerable lessons—practice makes perfect, small differences can have large effects, collaboration leads to creativity. The arts also teach children that there a several paths to take when approaching problems and that all problems can have more than one solution.”
