Conchas & Creation: A Celebration of Art and Community

Join us for a vibrant evening honoring the creative spirit behind one of San Antonio’s newest visual gems. As part of the Fiesta Festival, we’re celebrating artist Nicholas Monroe, the visionary behind the iconic concha umbrellas at Alamo Biscuit Co. on the Riverwalk. This special event recognizes Nicholas’s incredible work, along with the community of supporters who helped bring the installation to life.

The evening will feature a live reading by Ennis Salam, sharing an original poem inspired by Nicholas’s sculpture.

Come for the art, stay for the celebration. Expect music, connection, and moments of reflection on what happens when vision meets community.
