This dazzling show features original works by over 50 SAAL+M member artists and is the perfect destination for art lovers, holiday shoppers, and anyone seeking inspiration and joy. From richly textured fiber pieces to expressive paintings, elegant ceramics to mixed-media collages, Season of Lights offers a wide range of affordable, one-of-a-kind artworks—ideal for thoughtful gifts or for adding something special to your own home. Each piece reflects the imagination and warmth of the season, showcasing the exceptional talent of our creative community.
The exhibition was juried by Patricia A. Karr, former owner of Artisans – A Texas Gallery in Fredericksburg, a respected space known for its vibrant curation of Texas-based fine art and fine craft. With years of experience managing exhibitions, Karr brings a keen eye for originality, quality, and accessibility, ensuring that Season of Lights reflects the very best of SAAL+M’s member artists.
Visitors are warmly invited to the Public Opening Reception on Sunday, November 16, from 3–5 PM, where they can meet the artists and purchase works directly from the exhibition—take-home purchases are available immediately.
As an added celebration, SAAL+M will host a Tax-Free Holiday Thank-You on Friday and Saturday, December 5 & 6, allowing visitors to shop tax-free in all galleries—including the Small Works Gallery and the Members Upstairs Gallery—thanks to the museum’s nonprofit status.
