||
| Artwork Goals In partnership with the San Antonio Missions National Historical Park and Mission Heritage Partners, we are happy to announce a call for artist proposals to interpret the history of Mission San José within the mission grounds. This exciting program will shed light on the “Queen of the Missions,” or Mission San José, founded in 1720 by Fray Antonio Margil de Jesús. The site is part of San Antonio Missions National Historical Park, which is also a World Heritage Site. All artists in the greater San Antonio area are encouraged to apply. Multimedia work, static installations and time based performances are all appropriate. |

| Artwork Location Description Anchored in history - The San Antonio Area Foundation and Mission Heritage partners, funds this new program in which two artists will be carefully selected by a diverse Curatorial Committee to interpret the site and history at Mission San José. This historic mission, founded in 1720 by Fray Antonio Margil de Jesús, is the best known of the Texas missions besides the Alamo. To learn more about San Antonio Missions National Historical Park, visit their website: http://www.nps.gov/saan This program will be activated on the property of the National Park Service and cannot be within the church boundaries. No permanent connections, marks or other alterations or damages to the historic Mission structures will be permitted. This program best suits work that will be highly effective during the daytime when the Mission is open to the public.

Luminaria, The National Park Service, Mission Heritage Partners and Mission San José cannot be held liable for vandalism, theft or accidents. |
