A Quarter-Century of the West: The 25th Anniversary of ‘Night of Artists’

For 25 years, San Antonio has served as the heartbeat of the Western art world. It began as a single evening event in 2001 and has blossomed into the Briscoe Western Art Museum’s Night of Artists Exhibition and Art Sale, one of the premier Western art events on the planet. (Briscoe Western Art Museum, 2026)

While the exclusive opening weekend is a legendary sold-out celebration, the beauty of this collection belongs to everyone. From March 29 through May 10, the public is invited to experience (and even purchase!) works from this landmark 25th-anniversary show.

Why This Year is Special

The 2026 exhibition is a powerhouse of contemporary talent, featuring over 300 new works. It reinforces San Antonio’s reputation as a top-tier destination for the genre, showcasing:

  • New Voices: Exciting artists who are currently redefining what “Western Art” means today.
  • Diverse Media: A stunning array of paintings, sculptures, and mixed media.

The Briscoe Purchase Award: Every year, the museum selects one piece to acquire for its permanent collection, ensuring the best of today’s Western art is preserved for future generations.

American Sharks Are Back: New Single and Album “Not Dead Yet” Announced

The wait is finally over. After a six-year hiatus, Austin’s favorite punk-metal hybrid, American Sharks, has officially returned. The trio dropped their brand-new single this month, the title track from their upcoming album, Not Dead Yet. (Us/Them Group, 2026)

Listen to “Not Dead Yet.”

The new track is a blistering reminder of why this band was missed.

The Sound: “Weezer Goes Stoner Rock”

Hailing from Austin, TX, American Sharks have perfected a high-energy sound that blends infectious pop hooks with “blasting-yer-face” riffs. Imagine the melodic sensibility of Weezer mashed into a heavy Stoner Rock aesthetic, and you’re halfway there.

Centering around founders Roky Moon (vocalist/bassist) and Nick Cornetti (drummer), the new album features nine fast-paced, pummeling tracks that prove the band is far from finished.

A Heavyweight Guest List

The band isn’t coming back alone. Not Dead Yet features an impressive roster of special guest guitar soloists from across the rock and metal world:

  • Mike Derks (GWAR)
  • Zach Blair (Rise Against)
  • Kyle Shutt (The Sword)
  • David Sullivan (Red Fang)
  • Leo Lydon (Rickshaw Billie’s Burger Patrol)

Catch Them On Tour

American Sharks will be hitting the road this spring as the main support for Rickshaw Billie’s Burger Patrol. The full U.S. tour kicks off in April.

Tickets for all shows are available online.

Album Release Details

Mark your calendars! The full-length album arrives just as the tour gets into gear.

  • Release Date: April 17th, 2026
  • Label: Permanent Teeth
  • Formats: LP, CD, and Digital Download

Since their 2013 debut and their self-produced follow-up 11:11, American Sharks have shared stages with legends like Clutch and Corrosion of Conformity. This 2026 return marks a “breathtaking” new chapter for the band.

‘Risk-First Software Development’: A New Framework for Modern Teams

‘Risk-First Software Development’ by Rob Moffat. Photo: Barnes & Noble

Book Spotlight: Risk-First Software Development: Volume 1: The Menagerie

By Rob Moffat

The software development world is crowded with different practices, metrics, methodologies, tools, and techniques. For example, metrics such as “number of open tickets,” “code coverage,” or “release cadence” give us a numerical feel for how things are going, while methodologies like Scrum, Waterfall, and Lean offer different approaches to organizing our work. (Barnes & Noble, 2026)

But what unites them all?

About Risk-First

The Risk-First perspective is that all of these practices and methodologies have one thing at their heart: managing risk. Risk isn’t just something that appears in a quarterly report; it actually drives every action we take in a project:

  • User Experience: A story about improving the user login screen reduces the risk of users failing to sign up.
  • Quality Assurance: When we write unit tests, we’re tackling the risk of bugs reaching production and defending against the risk of future changes breaking existing functionality.
  • Monitoring: Improving health indicators addresses the risk of an application failing without anyone noticing.
  • Feature Development: Implementing a new function mitigates the risk of users becoming dissatisfied and moving to a competitor.

Risk-First makes the case that better understanding the nature of these risks is critical to building software in the complex, interconnected domains we work in today.

About The Menagerie

This book is the first volume of the Risk-First series. It introduces the foundational case for viewing every activity on a software project as an attempt to manage risk. The second edition is now available.

The Menagerie introduces the wide variety of risks you’re likely to encounter, naming and classifying them to improve our collective understanding. The book aims to:

  1. Develop a Pattern Language for understanding software risk.
  2. Provide a practical framework for discussing how project activities change the balance of risks we are exposed to.

About the Author

Rob Moffat is a software developer with deep experience in the finance industry, having led regulatory, risk, and transformation IT projects at top-tier investment banks in London. A strong advocate for open source, he currently serves as the Chief Architect for FINOS, the Fintech Open Source Foundation (part of the Linux Foundation).

    Ivonne Galaz Releases Powerful Official Music Video for ‘Nadie Sabe’

    Ivonne Galaz Redefines the Corrido: The Visual Journey of “Nadie Sabe”

    Los Angeles, CA — Singer-songwriter Ivonne Galaz, the first woman to break into the corridos tumbados movement, has unveiled the official music video for her most emotional and socially charged single to date: “Nadie Sabe.” (Vesper Public Relations, 2026)

    The visual transforms the song, an anthem for those silenced or rejected for living their truth, into a cinematic narrative of resilience, loneliness, and rebirth.

    What are Corridos Tumbados?

    For those new to the genre, corridos tumbados (or “trap corridos”) are a modern subgenre of Mexican music. They blend traditional acoustic storytelling with:

    • Hip-hop and Trap elements
    • Urbano-influenced lyrics
    • Themes of street life, romance, and luxury

    While the genre has been popularized by artists like Natanael Cano and Peso Pluma, Galaz is reclaiming the medium to highlight deep-seated social issues.

    A Desert of Isolation and Rebirth

    Filmed in the sweeping desert of Phoenix, Arizona, the video uses stark, open terrain as a metaphor for the emotional reconstruction many LGBTQ+ youth face after abandonment.

    • The Journey: Galaz walks alone with her guitar, symbolizing the internal search for identity and safety.
    • The Symbolism: Solitary doors scattered across the sand close one by one, representing the “no” and the exclusion experienced by marginalized youth.
    • The Message: As one door closes, another opens, signaling a path toward freedom and self-discovery.
    • The Skyline: In the distance, the Phoenix skyline represents a society that watches from afar, often failing to support those who dare to be themselves.

    “The corrido has always told the stories of the people. Now it’s time to tell ours — the stories of those who only want to live and love freely.” — Ivonne Galaz

    Music as a Mission: “Corridos Rescue Corridos”

    “Nadie Sabe” is more than just a song; it is a pillar of Corridos Rescue Corridos, a cultural movement reclaiming the genre as a tool for empathy and social transformation.

    In partnership with The TransLatin@ Coalition (TLC) and The OC LGBTQ+ Center, this initiative aims to raise awareness and funds for LGBTQ+ and 2TGI youth in vulnerable situations. Through this project, Galaz connects the traditional purpose of the corrido, telling the stories of the people, to the lived realities of those who have been displaced or erased.

    About Ivonne Galaz

    Ivonne Galaz is a trailblazing artist reshaping regional Mexican music. As the first woman to perform corridos tumbados, she has become a cultural force known for her authenticity and raw lyricism. With “Nadie Sabe,” she transforms her art into a mission, using music as a tool for visibility and change.

    ‘Modern Natives’: Reimagining Coast Salish Myths for the 21st Century

    ‘Modern Natives’ blends myth, fiction, and illustrations. Photo: Amazon

    Book Spotlight: ‘Modern Natives‘

    An Illustrated Collection of Reimagined Coast Salish Myths by Andrea Grant

    For the Coast Salish peoples of the Pacific Northwest, stories are more than entertainment, they are truth. Rooted in deep cultural tradition, Modern Natives brings to life the ancient belief that the world is surrounded by supernatural beings who shape, challenge, and guide us. Unlike typical mythology books, these stories are not treated as fiction; they are sacred teachings and oral records offering insight into the laws of nature and the spiritual connections between all living things.

    Where Ancient Spirits Meet Urban Reality

    In this collection, storytellers are the knowledge-keepers. Andrea Grant honors this tradition by reimagining supernatural beings and ancestral figures in contemporary settings, from the crowded sidewalks of New York City to quiet suburban apartments.

    These luminous stories move between past and present, dreamtime and urban reality. It is a world where:

    • Water serpents haunt your sleep.
    • A trickster god orders whiskey in a Tacoma bar.
    • Wolves appear beneath the flickering streetlights of Manhattan.

    Story Highlights

    Modern Natives explores themes of identity, transformation, and mythic inheritance through several standout narratives:

    • The Water Dream: Noah is haunted by a sea serpent stalking her dreams. As her family life fractures, the boundary between myth and reality dissolves, forcing her to dive into the very waters she dreads.
    • Coyote Dances With Destiny: The immortal Trickster, haunted by loss, encounters the mysterious “Destiny” in a smoky blues bar. As they dance between temptation and fate, Coyote must decide if his memories are a curse or his only proof of existence.
    • The Isle of Women: When a young girl goes missing, two sisters follow their elders to a secret island to reclaim ancient power. This story powerfully merges the tragedy of the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW) movement with a mythic tale of vengeance and survival.

    A Visually Driven Experience

    The book is a multidimensional feast for the senses, blending short fiction and poetry with illustrations from:

    • Qwalsius–Shaun Peterson: Acclaimed Coast Salish artist.
    • Bowera Studio: Contributing high-impact visual storytelling.

    With Grant’s professional background spanning Condé Nast editing, graphic novels, and short films, she brings a cinematic perspective to the genre that translates beautifully from the page to the mind’s eye.

    “This book invites readers to step into a world where animals speak, ancestors walk among us, and the unseen is just as real as the seen.”

    About the Author: Andrea Grant

    Andrea Grant is a Canadian-born writer and multimedia artist of mixed-blood Coast Salish Native ancestry. Her work is renowned for its unique melding of mythological stories, poetry, photography, and live performance.

    An alumnus of Kwantlen University College, Grant has been recognized with several prestigious First Nations Storyteller grants from the Canada Council for the Arts, the B.C. Arts Council, and the First Peoples’ Cultural Council.
