"Located just south of downtown San Antonio on the oldest thoroughfare in the city, the South Flores Arts and Retail District consists of half a dozen galleries and performance spaces. Many of the spaces have regular openings on the Second Saturday of each month. Flores street, originally named for the many flower vendors who worked there, is now emerging from its industrial past to play host to one of the more vibrant art neighborhoods in San Antonio. The South Flores galleries, located near the intersection of South Flores St and Lone Star Blvd, present everything from traditional painting to contemporary intermedia installations. The galleries also host live music, film screenings, and dramatic performances."
