Join us on the second Saturday of the month for a perfect evening under the stars. The plaza opens at 6 PM, and the movie begins at 7 PM. Bring your lawn chairs or a cozy blanket to enjoy the show on our stunning 32-foot LED video wall! Full concessions and a bar will be available to enhance your movie experience.

🌧️ Rain or Shine: These events will go on regardless of the weather. If the skies don’t cooperate, we’ll move the fun indoors.

• Seating: Bring blankets or low lawn chairs (no taller than 32" to ensure everyone has a great view). Chairs will also be available on-site as supplies allow.

San Antonio, TX — October 2025 — Enzminger Studio is pleased to present Monstrous Visions, a solo exhibition of new works by Joseph Turner. The show opens during Second Saturday at 1906 S. Flores on Saturday, October 11, 7–10 PM.

Joseph Turner’s work merges his background in illustration with a painter’s devotion to discipline and experimentation. His practice draws on religious and mythological imagery as well as personal inspiration from books, media, and life experiences. Turner sees his work not only as an act of self-expression but also as a tool, an image that others might use as a visual aid or for decorative purposes.

“I try to get better at painting with every new project I do,” Turner explains. “Although I’ve made mistakes along the way, I don’t let failures or inadequacies dissuade me from continuing to make new works and keep growing my skill, because I know that development is not always pretty, and that mistakes are just a part of the journey.”

Born and raised in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Turner earned an associate’s degree in fine art with a focus in drawing from the University of New Mexico. He worked as a freelance illustrator from 2020 to 2023 before completing his MFA at the LeRoy E. Hoffberger School of Painting in Baltimore, where he studied under Stephen Ellis. Now based in San Antonio, Turner balances teaching with ongoing training at the Coppini Academy while continuing to refine his craft.

Monstrous Visions will be on view during Second Saturday, a monthly celebration of contemporary art along the Lone Star Arts District.

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.

Drawn primarily from the McNay’s outstanding collection of works on paper, this exhibition highlights the extraordinary creativity in 19th-century France, a time when we also rarely consider that printed images were subject to censorship laws—particularly between 1820 and 1880. In fact, some of this creativity was strategy to subvert and work around existing laws. The exhibition features critical images by Honoré Daumier and Édouard Manet in the context of prints made by their peers and later artists. The latter group includes Pablo Picasso, José Clemente Orozco, José Guadalupe Posada, who were inspired by how artists such as Manet and Daumier dealt with government censorship and used caricature to make protest art. In addition, more recent works by activist Guerrilla Girls and Donald Moffett add a contemporary lens to the presentation.

"Do Not Meddle With It!!: Print Censorship in 19th Century Paris" is organized for the McNay Art Museum by Elizabeth Kathleen Mitchell, Ph.D., Curator of Prints and Drawings.

Support is provided by the Elizabeth Huth Coates Charitable Foundation of 1992.
