• La_Villita abstract "La Villita Historic Arts Village is an art community in Downtown San Antonio, Texas, United States. There are many fine arts galleries, stores selling souvenirs, gifts, custom jewelry, pottery, and imported Mexican folk art, as well as several restaurants in the district. La Villita connects to the San Antonio River Walk and its outdoor Arneson River Theatre. It is very close to The Alamo, the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center, the Rivercenter Mall, and the Hemisfair Park. It is within easy walking distance of most downtown hotels.Located on the south bank of the San Antonio River, La Villita was one of San Antonio's first neighborhoods. In 1939, as ground broke on the San Antonio River Walk development, city official led by Mayor Maury Maverick acted to preserve this colorful part of San Antonio's history. It was an Indian settlement and then a collection of primitive brush huts, called jacales, for the Spanish soldiers (and their Indian wives and children) stationed nearby at the Mission San Antonio de Valero (an active mission from about 1718 to 1793, now better known as the Alamo). [1] After a flood in 1819 washed away most of the huts, more substantial adobe houses replaced them.Late in the 19th century, European immigrants from Germany, France, and Italy moved into the area and soon became active in business and trades: retailers, bankers, educators, and craftsmen. The variety of architectural styles seen in La Villita's buildings reflects the cultural mix, from the humble one-room homes of the poor to the fine spacious houses of the prosperous.La Villita declined into a slum in the early part of the 20th century. During the Great Depression, work began on the River Walk, a makework project funded by the Works Progress Administration that passed close to La Villita. City fathers, led by Mayor Maury Maverick, sponsored a companion effort by the National Youth Administration in 1939 to restore and preserve this colorful part of San Antonio's history. The NYA offered classes in arts and crafts as part of its program.Today, La Villita is a thriving arts community that stands as a monument to San Antonio's past. La Villita is on the National Register of Historic Places listings in Bexar County, Texas. A historic arts village since 1939, the galleries and shops found in just one square block offer unique art by local and regional artists featuring oil paintings, sculptures, watercolors, metal art, rock art, textiles, copperwares, pottery, jewelry, stained glass and regional folk art.The four-block area always offers food and drink, but over four nights during Fiesta San Antonio each April, La Villita is host to a Night in Old San Antonio with dozens of booths grouped to offer fun foods in 15 areas, such as Sauerkraut Bend, China Town, Irish Flat and the Mexican Market. The outdoor festival, with the narrow streets decorated with paper flowers and papel picado (cut paper banners), typically attracts 85,000 celebrants, many wearing costumes and funny hats. The event is a major fundraiser for the San Antonio Conservation Society.".
