Ruby City is a gem in our city. A free gem, to boot. The building is sparkly and stunning on the outside with the proper starkness of a modern art museum inside. There are great places to shoot photos. My favorite part of the experience was the video room. With three projectors set up, the vignettes are big and bold and mesmerizing. Don’t miss it. I look forward to additional pieces being added.

Its not just a museum, its a contemporary art campus with multiple areas to wander around and enjoy. The exhibits are multicultural and multidimensional so there is something for everyone to enjoy and think about. I learned some things and was blown away by the video art displays in both buildings. Hoping to return soon. Oh, and this place is a nonprofit with free entrance and parking. So dope!

Its a rating cause im splitting the difference :.. the building and grounds are a 5, as the architect knows how to make a location work. San Antonio is lucky to have the great Adjaye execute a world renowned new building right here in South Texas.. and I give a 1, due to it still being closed. there are many museums and art venues that are actually opened now, and they do so in a safe healthy manner with mask requirements and personal space distancing in effect. as it is, the art venues in san antonio are rarely visited anyway, so i see no reason why it cannot be opened.. why even the great, well trafficked art venues in New York City and Los Angeles have reopened! Sad. Ive been visiting Artpace since it opened, and it is rarely visited..other than opening night parties.. even before coronavirus closures.

Absolutely beautiful space. Free admission year round, with art that covers all walks of life and very reflective of where San Antonio is heading as a city. Elements of David Adjayes architectural prowess are absolutely present here, and it lends to the journey you get going through the museum. Highly recommend to everyone visiting San Antonio.

I dont get modern art so it may deserve a 5. The garden is nice. Free entrance and free parking.

What an eclectic, creative space that you dont want to miss, both inside & out! You also cant afford not to visit, since the admission is free! Chris Park is across the street & has a separate small gallery nested inside the green. The parking lot is all the way down the street, so youll have to walk down to get in!

It’s a bright new day at Ruby City. If you love art than check out this new venue in San Antonio that will change your perspective about what art is all about. Special continued thanks to Linda Pace, whose continued generosity helps art in San Antonio flourish and helps artists all around the world. Ruby City is a gift you will want to visit again and again.

Do not miss this museum. The artwork is incredible. The video installation currently showing is moving. The docents and the people who greet you at the door are so welcoming. Usually I feel like I dont belong in museums and the snoot factor is high -- not this place. Everyone belongs and that is exactly how they make you feel when you come to this most unusual and creative space.

Despite some of the pieces are gorgeous I have to give a one star review due to the extremely rude person in the front desk (bearded white guy on glasses), I went there with the family and seemed like he just didnt like us, making us feel really uncomfortable, he even yelled at us twice and scared the little ones, I was very sorry to realize they are not inclusive even when they state the opposite, how sad and what a shame, when we left he was maliciously smiling, Im an IT professional and my wife is a Doctor, we were just not fancy enough for him. Id never come back.

Beautiful evening at Chris Park listening to local jazz musicians—Aaron Prado & his band & vocalist Jacqueline Sotello performed tonight. Music in the Park was a free event and sponsored by KRTU & Ruby City. Ruby City even provided free beverages, chilled Rose. Chris Park is a gem, charming and intimate venue. Thanks KRTU & Ruby City for a wonderful evening!

Such a great place for art. Went twice and had a really pleasant experience the first time. Friendly folks at the main building and the studio! Second time I brought some friends who hadnt been since the first time was pleasant. We started at the studio and the woman working there just said hi and continued talking to two other ladies. When my friend got close to the mirror piece she snapped and yelled at him twice to not touch it and continued talking to the other two folks. Complete 180 from the gentleman we had on the first visit who informed us nicely not to touch the exhibit right when we came in. Put a damper on the evening until we went to the main building where the folks working there were much friendlier.

It is a free art museum south of downtown. The architecture is great. The art snaps you out of your daily grind. You can take a turn around Chris Park. There is nothing to lose by visiting.

Linda Pace’s dream of Ruby City, has come to light. This free art center is a true gift to the community and visitors of San Antonio. This beautiful building designed by Sir David Adjaye will house her personal contemporary art collection. This is a must to visit when in San Antonio!

Almost as ugly as his hideous barnacle on the National Mall. Linda Pace’s house in Terrell Hills was a gorgeous modern design by Lake/ Flato, this, however, looks like an offspring of Cisneros grotesque Red Enchilada Homeless Shelter hilariously masquerading as the Central Library.
