Blanton Student Fest

11:21 AM Posted by Unknown , ,
Today is the Blanton Museum of Art's Student Fest in which University of Texas students receive free admission and can take part in various activities throughout the day. Have an hour or two between classes? Then stop on by!


A list of the day's activities:
10am-12pm: breakfast tacos & coffee specials at the Cafe
12pm-2pm: Choose Your Own Adventure Tours
2pm-7:30pm: Free-drawing activity
2pm-4pm: Scavenger Hunt through the Galleries (how cool?!) - with a participation prize at the end, too!
2pm-4pm: Retro cartoon time
4pm-5:30pm: Trivia Game - "Geeks Who Drink" style - winning team receives prizes
5:30pm-6:15pm: Monde Green Performance in the outdoor plaza
5:30pm-7:30pm: Snacks from Whole Foods
6:15pm-7:15pm: Student led tours of El Anatsui
6pm-8pm: El Anatsui inspired art making activity
7pm-7:45pm: Searching for Signal Performance


At times like these I am envious of students at large universities with fantastic resources and large museums affiliated with the schools. So many of those activities sound FUN.
