Mario Ochoa of the Chamber Orchestra of San Antonio pitched his idea of creating a fine arts bar for San Antonio. Like a sports bar – but a watering hole for local patrons of the arts that will promote, cross pollinate and build excitement about local performances, galleries and art events.

COSA’s 3DS team: Natalia Martinez, Lori Skinner, Mario Ochoa, Paul Montalvo, and Robert Ehlers

“The big pitch was a fine arts bar called Muse that would integrate all the fine arts into one space,” Ochoa said. “We’ll serve drinks. We’ll serve food. We’ll serve coffee. We’ll have flat screen TV’s not playing sports but playing fine arts from around the world. We’ll also have a stage that all the institutions in San Antonio can use to hold intimate performances.”
