The San Antonio Art League + Museum (SAAL+M) proudly announces acclaimed fiber artist Susie Monday as its 2025 Artist of the Year, honoring her visionary work and lifelong contributions to the arts. This prestigious award, established in 1946, celebrates excellence across all artistic disciplines and this year shines a much-deserved spotlight on the expressive power of fiber art.
Selected by a distinguished panel of national and international jurors, Monday’s recognition marks a milestone for both the artist and the regional fiber arts community. Her work—rich with color, symbolism, and cultural storytelling—has captivated audiences and elevated textile collage and surface design to new artistic heights.

NOTE: SAAL+M is open Tue-Sat, 10 am to 3 pm.

The Briscoe is excited to invite guests and members of the museum to participate in our community Ofrenda (Altar) in celebration of Dia de los Muertos.

The Day of the Dead Holiday is thought to have grown from Indigenous origins blending with European traditions in Mexico and today is a national symbol of Mexican and Mexican-American heritage.

The Briscoe’s Ofrenda commemorates loved ones of the museum’s staff, community and the West. Museum guests and members are invited to add photos of lost loved ones and your personal offering.

At the Spay-Neuter Assistance Program (SNAP), our mission is to prevent the suffering of companion animals and strengthen the human-animal bond by providing accessible, affordable spay/neuter and veterinary care.

Our clinics are busy every day helping pets in need—and we go through supplies quickly. As a nonprofit, we depend on the generosity of our community to keep our doors open and our shelves stocked. In-kind donations such as towels and cleaning supplies are just as valuable as monetary gifts, helping us lower costs and serve more pets.

From October 20–24, 2025 (10 AM–4 PM), SNAP will be hosting a Donation Drive to collect supplies and monetary contributions for our clinics. Drop off location is Spay-Neuter & Animal Wellness Clinic at 6758 Ingram Road, 78238.

Last year alone, donated goods saved SNAP over $72,000, allowing us to provide even more affordable spay/neuter and preventive care for local pets.
