What makes it fun
Essex Modern City is a former pallet manufacturing site in what is said to be the "rough" part of town. The new owners of the property decided that was not the case and have worked for years to create one of San Antonio's most unique art installations. With huge spray paint murals every few feet on the walls of their outdoor courtyard and major plans to eventually completely renovate the entire area, this venue is constantly changing and evolving as each artist leaves their mark on the overall project. Live music and guest artists are available on their Second Saturday special events and are free to the public. A truly unique blend of San Antonio culture with the progressive adaptation of derelict factory spaces, the trend that is sweeping the nation!
