Home to a variety of museums, galleries, musical offerings and more, San Angelo offers natives and visitors alike a unique cultural experience.

Visual Arts
The Old Chicken Farm Art Center, which provides housing and work spaces for select artists, includes two galleries open to the public as well as 15 artists' studios. The center also offers a bed and breakfast and an eatery, the Silo House Restaurant, both of which are open year-round. In addition, the San Angelo Museum of Fine Arts offers three galleries as well as a rooftop sculpture terrace that provides a view of the city. The museum also includes a multipurpose meeting room and a research library, which are open to the public by appointment. Classrooms and ceramic studios located in the education wing of the museum are available as well. The San Angelo Museum of Fine Arts is also home to the San Angelo National Ceramic Competition, which is held in April on even-numbered years. The competition involves a juror from the local ceramics community choosing the top 100 pieces from more than 1,500 entries. A mini-exhibit that highlights the work of a well-known ceramic artist is also on display. On odd-numbered years, an invitational ceramic exhibit is installed at the museum. The three-day event, which is hosted by the museum, Angelo State University and the Old Chicken Farm Art Center, includes additional gallery openings, a barbecue dinner and ceramic discussions.

The International Waterlily Collection is the only premier waterlily display in North America. Created and developed by Kenneth Landon in the late 1980s, the collection features rare plants. The collection is displayed at Civic League Park and includes a variety of waterlilies, including new hybrids, tropical day bloomers, tropical night bloomers and more.

San Angelo Symphony
Providing classical concerts, family events and educational programs, the San Angelo Symphony is focused on offering entertainment and education to the community. The symphony is conducted by Music Director Maestro Hector Guzman and includes several orchestra members playing a variety of classical instruments.

Angelo Civic Theatre
The Angelo Civic Theatre traces its roots to a dramatic society formed in 1885 – a vivid testament to San Angelo's artistic spirit. Each year, the theater produces five productions (plus a summer show), offering a slate of musicals, classics, and contemporary works for a multigenerational audience base and community of artists. The theater has two venues: the main stage, seating 230; and the studio, seating 50. Through its youth programs, the theater also cultivates a new generation. Each year students audition to be part of the Youth Company, a performance and production workshop.

San Angelo Civic Ballet
The Nutcracker is the San Angelo Civic Ballet's annual tradition, but the group offers much more. In addition to the holiday favorite, the ballet also spearheads the annual Spring Student Showcase and Summer Arts Conservatory, all of which allows San Angeloans to experience a variety of expressions in the medium of dance. The ballet also offers year-round training for dancers of all ages to challenge local dancers and encourage artistic exploration.
