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.

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.

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.
