Description:
San Antonio remains a frontier outpost even in our modern times as an international city. It is a place of experimentation with the merging of diverse cultures and the juxtapositions of traditions. Because of this unique position, the traditional and the modern exist side by side. This has enabled THE URBAN-15 GROUP to develop a philosophy of inclusion, combining the traditional with the non-traditional, crossing lines of gender, class, race, religion and breaking the prejudice barriers of physical size, age and beauty, THE URBAN - 15 GROUP reaches out to stimulate the community in an imaginative manner to create a dynamic force in culture, creating a new folk style most reflective of contemporary San Antonio. Organizational History For over twenty-eight years, as an arts group and twenty years as a non-profit arts and education agency, our organization has worked to widen the interest in traditional and contemporary art forms. Our goal is to activate the resources of our 21st Century society in creating situations that stimulate the imagination of everyone. Simultaneously, we have tried to instill a sense of magic by exploring the roots of our experimentation. Additional Information:
