Calendar

The Dolph & Janey Briscoe Legacy Award Luncheon is our opportunity to honor a very special and deserving member or members of the Briscoe Museum family. At the legacy luncheon, an award is given and serves as a special tribute to an individual who has demonstrated the philanthropic spirit of the late Texas Governor and his wife through altruistic contributions and support of the Briscoe Museum and all of South Texas. Honorees of this year’s luncheon will be the family of Ruth McLean Bowman Bowers.

Families are invited to join the Briscoe at the San José Mission as we learn about the history of the Spanish Missions. After a short presentation, families will be able to design and build their own missions out of recyclable and found materials. This family program is great for all ages and all are welcome to participate.

After building your own mission at Mission San José, families are encouraged to stay and tour the mission, as well as the other mission sites in San Antonio. The Briscoe Western Art Museum is proud to host a diverse collection of artwork and artifacts featuring the San Antonio Missions

The Briscoe Western Art Museum and National Parks Service Teams are committed to educating the San Antonio community about the history and art of our city, which started with the establishment of the Spanish colonial missions. The Briscoe Western Art Museum is proud to host a diverse collection of artwork and artifacts featuring the San Antonio missions.

Highlighting the continued vibrancy and artistic traditions of Native American communities – and the local tribes who helped shape San Antonio – the Briscoe Western Art Museum invites everyone to enjoy its annual Yanaguana Indian Arts Festival. The event is free and includes admission to the Briscoe, making it a perfect way to celebrate the important role Native Americans played in shaping the West while enjoying art and artifacts that highlight Native American history.

The Briscoe Western Art Museum is happy to welcome all residents of San Antonio and Bexar County to come and experience the culture and art of the West. Our neighbors can enjoy a day of art and culture for a 50% discount off general admission, a $6.00 savings.
