The San Antonio Arts Commission has 15 members. The Mayor and City Council appoint them to make recommendations about arts funding and public art for the City of San Antonio.

On April 2, 2015, the City of San Antonio created the San Antonio Arts Commission. It unites the former Cultural Arts Board and the former Public Art Board. The goal is to improve the arts and culture in our city and set best practices. The San Antonio Arts Commission includes many citizen subcommittees. They are volunteers and cover specific creative areas.
