What's happening now and what's coming up
Exhibits, Workshops, and Events at SAAL+M
Here's what is currently showing
We always have three or more exhibits showing -- the Davis Collection, the Members Gallery, and a least one featured exhibit. Here's what's showing right now.
Rotating every ninety days, the members gallery contains all the diversity of styles and subject matter that is encompassed in the league's own diverse membership.
Members Gallery - Summer 2026
July, August, and September of 2026
A collection of surprising breadth and depth that includes prominent Texas artists, founding members of the Taos Society of Artists, Impressionists who painted alongside Monet at Giverny, and landscape painters from Ohio, California, and the American South.
The Davis Collection

Throughout the year, San Antonio artists lead classes and workshops in our Semmes Studio facility. These limited-size workshops cover everything from painting and drawing to collage, ceramics, and printmaking. Here's what's coming up.
Discover abstraction by noticing elements such as line, shape, color, texture, rhythm, contrast, and negative space in both artwork and the ordinary world, with the goal to experiment and discover.
