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.

RED RIDING HOOD

SEPTEMBER 27 – OCTOBER 12

By Allison Gregory

When Wolfgang, the “greatest actor in the world,” sets out to perform his one-man version of the Red Riding Hood story, he’s interrupted by a delivery driver with a mysterious package and plenty of opinions about how the story should go. Together, they jump into a fast and funny retelling of the classic fairy tale, playing every role and discovering unexpected surprises along the way. This clever, energetic, family-friendly show celebrates courage, bravery, and the strength that comes from working together.
