ArtTree thinks that making is part of our human nature. All of us make. The power of creativity can be a strong force. Having access to your own creativity is an indicator that you are well. We welcome everyone, regardless of whether you've been painting since kindergarten or if you already have an art practice. Our goal is to create additional connections in the San Antonio arts community. We want to offer a forum for ideas and exchanges on business issues. We aren't sure exactly how it will develop. Step one is to get together and assess the gaps. Stuart Allen and Cade Bradshaw, Bridge Partners, are experts in both private and public art commissions. Their experience includes managing and completing a variety of architectural and temporary art projects. These include pop-up events and public parks. Allen is a self-employed studio artist who has worked for over 20 years. Bradshaw, a younger generation, began his career as Allen's assistant in the studio. However, he quickly outgrew this role. They have been working together for five years on public commissions and consulting as well as fabrication and project management.
