When you race with PMP Pals for the One-in-a-Million 5K Run/Walk, you’re helping us go the distance with Appendix Cancer. This rare disease, on the rise worldwide, affects one in a million people each year. Lace it up and celebrate life against the odds!

San Antonian Sheri Doss is grateful to be alive. Wanting to give back to both her local and peer support cancer communities. In 2024, Sheri established the One in a Million 5K Run/Walk to celebrate her 60th birthday and life beyond Pseudomyxoma Peritonei (PMP), closely related to appendix cancer. Sheri was diagnosed in 2021 with PMP, a rare disease affecting a small cross-section of the world - people of all ages, shapes, genders, and nationalities. After undergoing an intense lifesaving surgery known as CRS/HIPEC, her health returned due, in large part, to her daily walking routine. Sheri thrives because of her positive attitude, love for walking, and the online support she found through PMP Pals.

Net proceeds from the One in a Million 5K Run/Walk benefit PMP Pals, a global network of patients and caregivers living beyond an Appendix Cancer diagnosis, and related conditions like PMP which affect the gastrointestinal system, digestion, and nutrition. As you run/walk the course at McAllister Park, educational signage explains this rare cancer without a cure on the rise among young people under 40. Register today and lace it up for Appendix Cancer!

Ruby City proudly presents Synthesis & Subversion Redux, an exhibition celebrating the legacy of Frances Jean Colpitt and the evolving conversation around Latinx art. This new exhibition revisits Colpitt’s groundbreaking 1996 show, Synthesis and Subversion: A Latino Direction in San Antonio Art, and its influence on contemporary art practices today.
In 1996, Colpitt brought together a group of San Antonio-based artists—Jesse Amado, David Padilla Cabrera, Alejandro Diaz, Franco Mondini-Ruiz, Ana de Portela, and Chuck Ramirez—who explored identity, abstraction, and the everyday through conceptual approaches. The exhibition challenged norms and sparked critical debate, becoming a pivotal moment in San Antonio’s art history.

Now, nearly 30 years later, Redux builds on Colpitt’s vision while reflecting the profound changes in the art world since then. Curated by two Latinas in leadership roles at major institutions, Ruby City Director, Elyse A. Gonzales, and Curator of Latinx Art at the McNay Art Museum, Mia Lopez, Redux showcases the work of five contemporary artists: Juan Carlos Escobedo, Jenelle Esparza, Bárbara Miñarro, Angeles Salinas, and José Villalobos. These artists bring fresh perspectives to themes of identity, memory, and culture, often through craft-informed practices that incorporate textiles, personal history, and connections to the U.S.-Mexico border.

The exhibition will be on view from February 15, 2024 through September 28, 2025 at Studio, located inside Chris Park (111 Camp Street).

O’ Powa O’ Meng—”I came here, I got here, I’m still going”— is how Jody Folwell describes, in her Tewa language, her personal journey with pottery. A contemporary artist from Kha’p’o Owingeh (also known as Santa Clara Pueblo, in New Mexico), she is among the most significant and influential clay artists of her generation. Across five decades of artistic practice, Folwell has revolutionized contemporary Pueblo pottery with energetic, avant-garde innovations of form, content, and design that have influenced younger generations of Pueblo potters. This exhibition presents iconic works that demonstrate the arc of Folwell’s trailblazing career and place her within the canon of contemporary American art.

"O’ Powa O’ Meng: The Art and Legacy of Jody Folwell" is organized by the Fralin Museum of Art and the Minneapolis Institute of Art. Major support for the national tour and exhibition catalogue is provided by the Terra Foundation for American Art. Curator-in-charge at the McNay Art Museum is Lauren Thompson, Curator of Exhibitions.

Support is provided by the Elizabeth Huth Coates Charitable Foundation of 1992; the Flora Crichton Visiting Artist Fund; Ewing Halsell Foundation, Louis A. and Francis B. Wagner Endowment; and the William Randolph Hearst Foundation.
