Unsung Heroes: Kathy Sosa’s ‘Revolutionary Women’ Comes to the Briscoe Western Art Museum
SAN ANTONIO, TX — The women who shaped Texas and Mexico were never just passive witnesses to history. They were active participants, survivors, cultural transmitters, laborers, activists, mothers, revolutionaries, and community leaders. Their resilience and determination forged the vibrant cultural landscape that connects Mexico, Texas, and the American West. (BriscoeWesternArt Museum, 2026)
This fall, their stories take center stage.
Opening October 15 at the Briscoe Western Art Museum, Kathy Sosa: Revolutionary Women of Texas and Mexico brings these incredible narratives to life through more than 30 powerful works by San Antonio artist Kathy Sosa. On view through June 14, 2027, the exhibition serves as a striking contemporary artistic continuation of the history explored in the Briscoe’s landmark exhibition, Tejano Legacy: Another American Origin Story.
A Grand Reopening for the Women of the West Gallery
Revolutionary Women of Texas and Mexico marks the highly anticipated reopening of the Briscoe’s Women of the West Gallery, which has been temporarily closed as part of the museum’s ongoing renovations.
The refreshed gallery will reopen just in time to welcome Sosa’s exhibition, providing a dedicated, expanded space to honor the women who built and shaped the American West.
Revolutionary Women: History Through a Contemporary Lens
San Antonio artist Kathy Sosa is a self-taught creator whose work explores mestizaje – the distinctive cultural identity of the Texas-Mexico borderlands. While historically referring to racial and ethnic mixing between Indigenous peoples and Europeans, the term has evolved to describe a broader cultural process: the convergence of traditions, languages, ideas, and ways of life.
That exploration takes on a deeply human dimension in this exhibition, which draws inspiration from Sosa’s acclaimed book, Revolutionary Women of Texas and Mexico: Portraits of Soldaderas, Saints and Subversives. The collection features paintings, mixed media, and sculpture highlighting women whose lives challenge conventional ideas about who built the history of the region.
About the Artist: Kathy Sosa is the author of Mestizaje: The Feminist Art of Kathy Sosa, co-editor and illustrator of Revolutionary Women of Texas and Mexico, and co-producer of the documentary series Children of the Revolución. Her work has been exhibited nationwide and featured across major media platforms.
A Contemporary Companion to 400 Years of Tejano History
On view through January 18, 2027, Tejano Legacy explores nearly 400 years of Tejano history, culture, and identity through more than 100 artworks and artifacts. It examines the migrations, conflicts, faith, and traditions that created a vibrant borderlands culture that continues to thrive today.
Celebrate Hispanic Heritage & Fall at the Briscoe
With Tejano Legacy, Selena Forever | Siempre Selena, a robust fall calendar, and the arrival of Revolutionary Women, the Briscoe offers incredible opportunities to immerse yourself in Tejano and Mexican American history and culture.
🌟Featured Companion Exhibition
Selena Forever | Siempre Selena (On view through Jan. 4, 2027): Features photographer John Dyer’s intimate images of Tejano superstar Selena Quintanilla captured between 1992 and 1994. Large-scale portraits, boutique photography, and magazine covers celebrate her enduring legacy.
🎶Fall Events Beyond the Galleries
Oct. 22 | Llamativa Free Concert (6–8 p.m.): Experience the living rhythms of cumbia with San Antonio’s all-female cumbia group, Llamativa. This all-ages outdoor/gallery performance is completely free and open to the public.

Magik Theatre Kicks Off 2026–27 Season with If You Give a Mouse a Cookie
SAN ANTONIO, TX — Magik Theatre is opening its new season with a beloved treat that will have audiences of all ages laughing, smiling, and demanding more silliness. (Magik Theatre, 2026)
If You Give a Mouse a Cookie marks the official start of Magik’s 2026–27 season. The production opens on Saturday, October 3, with a sweet kickoff party and runs through October 25. Guests can savor Magik’s remarkable renovations, completed just this summer, while enjoying brand-new season ticket options that make it easy to save room for a full slate of acclaimed productions featuring “fun, fantastical friends.”
A Zany, Cause-and-Effect Adventure
Laura Numeroff’s If You Give a Mouse a Cookie has been charming generations since the picture book’s release in 1985. Adapted by Jodi Davidson, Magik’s version recounts the simple tale of a boy whose peaceful afternoon of cookies and comics is interrupted by a mouse whose simple request snowballs into a zany, physical comedy adventure.
“This production is fun, silly, and full of slapstick humor.”
— Pam Ramirez, Director
A professional clown whose resume includes Ringling Brothers, Barnum & Bailey Circus, and studies at the world-renowned Dell’Arte School of Physical Theatre, Ramirez was the perfect choice to lead this production.
“I’m especially thrilled that our production will be filled with physical comedy… The endless funny bits brilliantly executed by Michael Roberts (Mouse) and Christopher Deuter (Boy) will make you giggle for 50 minutes straight.”
— Collin Pittmann, Artistic Director
While the story is famed for its repetition and circularity, Magik’s hour-long production is anything but boring. Ramirez and the company have created a comic book story-within-a-story packed with excitement, suspense, and non-stop energy.
Rejuvenating Magik, All Year Long
Guests who didn’t get a glimpse of Magik’s major renovation over the summer will find even more to love about the theatre. The multimillion-dollar effort includes:
Enhanced Accessibility & Safety: Quadrupled ADA-accessible seating, improved entry points, and upgraded security, electrical, and plumbing systems.
Modern Comforts: Brand-new theater seats, carpet, and HVAC systems.
Fresh New Look: Brightly painted upper and lower lobbies, with main exterior doors wrapped in colorful signage marking where the outside world ends and Magik begins.
What’s Next in the 2026–27 Lineup?
Joining Mouse and Boy later this season are the Grinch, Frog and Toad, Pinocchio, Charlotte the Spider, the Cat in the Hat, and many more beloved characters.
Musical Lovers Subscription: Enjoy all four season musicals: How the Grinch Stole Christmas, A Year with Frog and Toad, Pinocchio (a collaboration with OPERA San Antonio), and Seussical the Musical.
Full Season Pass: Secure seats to all four musicals plusIf You Give a Mouse a Cookie and Charlotte’s Web in Magik’s biggest season yet.

What’s Baking at Pullman Market This August: Scratch Pastries, Special Collabs, and More
While most grocery store bakeries rely on frozen dough and centralized production, Pullman Market at Pearl has built something entirely different: a true scratch bakery where every loaf, pastry, cake, and frozen treat is made in-house using local heritage grains, Texas dairy, and an approach that prioritizes craftsmanship over convenience. (Pullman Market, 2026)
Throughout the month of August, Pullman Market is highlighting its bakery program with special offers and samplings—but the story goes well beyond fresh bread.
Why Pullman’s Bakery Stands Apart
A True Scratch Bakery: Nearly everything begins from scratch each day. Every bread dough is mixed, fermented, and baked in-house using local heritage grains and flours. Cakes, frostings, fillings, and pastries are all made onsite, with bakers working throughout the day so guests always catch fresh products coming straight out of the oven.
Heritage Grains with Texas Flavors: The bakery celebrates historic grains that helped shape Texas food traditions. Breads feature local heritage flours, flour tortillas are made with White Sonora (one of the first grains used for flour tortillas in the Southwest), and fresh pasta is crafted with heritage grain Durum or Barton Springs Mill Flour.
Thoughtful Sustainability: Sustainability is baked into every step. Bread is sold fresh on day one, sliced and bagged on day two, and transformed into croutons, kvass, or bread pudding on day three for a near zero-waste program. Excess seasonal fruit gets a second life as house-made sorbets and freeze-dried toppings, while the ice cream itself is crafted in-house using local Texas dairy.
August Bakery Special: Sample bakery favorites all month long, including sourdough, cookies, and seasonal specialties. Plus, members who purchase any loaf of Pullman bread and pre-packaged pasta will receive a complimentary two-pack of cookies.
Unlimited chef-driven ceviche tastings from Mezquite, Miles, Leche de Tigre, (a)mar, and Ladino, plus a live whole tuna breakdown by Bluefiná. $55/person (includes welcome cocktail). Tickets on OpenTable.
