## Resource

San Antonio artists are sounding the alarm on Project Marvel, demanding that the city’s billion-dollar sports and entertainment district doesn’t erase culture or displace communities — and that public art reflects real San Antonians, not just tourist stereotypes. They’re pushing for city funds to directly support local creatives, safe public spaces, and performance venues, while questioning why basic needs are ignored as the city rushes toward flashy development. With concerns about missing Black voices and erasing historic landmarks like La Villita, artists are calling for art that serves the community — not just visitors — and Councilwoman Castillo pledged to fight for better community benefits and a clear public return from the project.
