Vision SMTX Comprehensive Plan Adopted 2024

OUR VISION FOR EQUITABLE AND COMPATIBLE GROWTH

ARTS AND CULTURE San Marcos has a diversity of artistic and cultural assets. Whether through continued collaboration or new policies, a critical component in the community’s future is the continued advancement of an artistic and cultural identity. Downtown offers multiple venues within a short walk of the adjacent neighborhoods. Additionally, the Texas State University campus has public art, as well as live performance venues and galleries. These spaces provide areas where residents can engage and enrich their lives. Community events also attract many out-of-town visitors and are an economic asset to the community. As San Marcos’ population changes and grows, it is important for the city to continue to invest in public art and cultural facilities. Investment in spaces, facilities, improved transportation access, and supportive infrastructure that enable the continuation and expansion of arts, culture, and events should be a priority in the future.
