    ULI San Antonio's upcoming luncheon speaker, Jeff Speck, notes in his book, Walkable City, that pedestrians need to be rewarded with a continuously unfolding panorama; architecture plays an important role, as does public art. 

    Join us Monday, November 1 from 6:00pm to 8:00pm, as we test Jeff’s theory and take a downtown art tour with Centro’s Vice President of Cultural Placemaking, Andi Rodriguez. She’ll share 12 of Centro’s newest Art Everywhere installation and a bit about downtown’s new art-vibe as we walk and roll (with our mobile refreshment cart!) We’ll swap micro stories about the latest downtown progress, local emerging artists and the partnership with private businesses that has made Art Everywhere so successful. 
     
    Registration includes free parking at City Tower and concludes with a casual catchup at the TPR Plaza Paseo with light refreshments.
