Meeting on Monday, September 3 from 4-5 at DFA 4.104

Yes, that's right. We do indeed have a room reserved! Hurrah! September 3 is Labor Day. I know many of you may be busy. I tried to make it early enough so that you would still be able to go to your BBQ and such in the evening. DFA 4.104 will be our permanent meeting place. Regularly, we would meet on Sunday at 6pm in DFA 4.104, however, the meeting this Monday will take place of the regular Sunday meeting. THERE IS NO MEETING SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 2. Our next meeting is scheduled for Monday, SEPTEMBER 3 from 4-5 at DFA 4.104.

New Student Welcome for Theatre and Dance students, Sept. 6 at 5 in the atrium


Theatre and Dance "Departmental Welcome Party" aka the "mandatory party" is scheduled for Thursday, September 6 from 5-7PM. FAC is tabling at the event to promote our organization & educate new students as to what we're about in an effort to get them involved.

We need volunteers!

Tables will be available beginning at 4 PM in the atrium. Students will begin to visit the tables as early as 5:30. You are welcome to set up the table and walk away until the students begin to arrive.

FAC's poster will be on the table. Please feel free to decorate the table in whatever way you wish, bring handouts, sign up sheets, etc. When the event ends at 7, it would be great if you could remove the signs and clean up the area.

Please feel free to eat at your table. The food will be set up about 5:15, so if you want to eat prior to student traffic, feel free to do so.

Six information tables will be set up. They are:
UT Connections
Round About Players
Fine Arts Council
Fine Arts Career Services
Once Upon a Weekend
Dance Action


Thanks,
Sara Povlish
Theatre and Dance Vice President

New Student Welcome at 6pm in the Fine Arts Library on Tuesday, 8/28


All freshmen entering the College of Fine Arts are invited to a New Student Welcome at 6pm on Tuesday, August 28 in the Fine Arts Library for karaoke and pizza. Blanton Student Guild and Fine Arts Council will be there to answer any questions freshmen might have and tell them about our organization. We will tell them about the events with which we are involved every semester such as Longhorn Schoolbus, Faculty-Student Mixer, Explore the Arts, Fine Arts Internship and Career Networking Fair, Texas Exes Teaching Awards, etc. To the left is a piece by a fifth-grader from Zavala Elementary school who attended FAC led Longhorn Schoolbus. Fine Arts Council members introduced his class to the wonders of CoFA. This included a tour or graduate studios, concert halls, discussion about instruments and demonstration.

Meeting Sunday, August 26, 2007 in the basement of the DFA at 4pm


I am pleased to announce that Fine Arts Council's first official meeting will
take place this SUNDAY, AUGUST 26, 2007 at 4 PM in the BASEMENT of the Doty
Fine Arts Building (DFA), our usual place that is next to the Career Services
office. Note the time change! Meet at FOUR O'CLOCK rather than 6, when we
regularly meet. I made the time earlier so that people are not starving when
the meeting ends.

If you have never been to a Fine Arts Council (FAC) meeting, then this is your
chance to start anew! Many exciting things are happening for FAC. This Sunday
we will be introducing our brilliant new officers and talking about the upcoming
semester. Dean Dempster recently put us in charge of allocating a substantial
budget for Art students organizations. If you are a student in the College of
Fine Arts, we want your input. Members of other art organizations will NOT
want to miss this meeting. Hope to see you there!

Welcome to our new site!


Fine Arts Council is a representative student organization for undergraduates at the College of Fine Arts at the University of Texas at Austin.
