Art enthusiasts are familiar with the enchantment that happens in collective silence — the meditative mulling-over that takes place in the halls and mezzanines of museums.
Over eight days this November — we’re already a few days in — Trinity University will offer a taste of that magic by hosting a series of free and public events, including gallery openings, live performances, lectures and workshops.
This month marks Trinity’s second Festival of the Arts, which runs through Saturday, Nov. 16. The now-annual event commemorates the opening of the campus’ School of Arts and Humanities last fall.
Student organizations will spearhead much of the programming. Installments during the series will include a concert by the Trinity Symphony Orchestra, a production of Hamlet by the theater department and two readings of poetry and fiction by English department students and faculty. A handful of student dance troupes will perform a collective show on the festival’s final day.
Visiting artists coming to the campus include author David Ladensohn, photographer Joel Salcido, multimedia artist Cruz Ortiz and playwright Irma Herrera, who will perform her one-woman show Why Would I Mispronounce My Own Name? on Wednesday, Nov. 13.
Those looking to partake in the creative spirit can attend classes on engraving, 3D printing and custom rug tufting in the university’s Makerspace.
A complete calendar of events is available online.
Free, through Saturday, Nov. 16, Trinity University, 1 Trinity Place, (210) 999-7011, trinity.edu.
