In our very first episode, we speak with Ana Montoya, founder of AnArte Gallery, a cornerstone of San Antonio’s contemporary art scene for over 25 years. Born in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, Ana shares how she left school to pursue her dream of opening a gallery.
AnArte Gallery, located in Alamo Heights, is more than just a gallery — it's a full-service art and consulting space that champions Texas-based, national, and international artists. From helping first-time collectors to placing bold artworks in hospitals and hotels, Ana's mission is simple but powerful: art should be for everyone.
Ana also gives us a look at what’s next for the gallery, including music classes for children, community outreach, and continued partnerships with non-profits like OPERA San Antonio, Conrad Smiles, and the American Cancer Society.
Whether you're an art lover or just love a good story of passion and purpose — this is an episode you don’t want to miss.
