The River Art Group is among the largest and finest artist cooperatives in the country. The River Art Group is housed in the historic Florian House within historic La Villita in downtown San Antonio. The art group was formed during the summer of 1947, when two small groups of San Antonio artists had the notion of doing a combined art show on the refurbished San Antonio Riverwalk. After electing a board of directors and incorporating as the River Art Group, the first River Art Show was on the first full weekend in October 1947. The River Art Show has been the most important show and sale of local artist works ever since. It has moved to the La Villita Assembly Hall and on the Riverwalk. The River Art Group also sponsors an art show on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday during San Antonio's Fiesta celebration in April.
