FAC Fun Day Out - Details!
Dear Fine Arts Council,
This Sunday is our Fun Day Out! Hooray, this is our time to relax! There will be no regular meeting. Our Fun Day Out will replace our normal 6 o'clock meeting.
WHAT: Fun Day Out! Fine Arts Council is going to the Austin Museum of Art (AMOA)to see the "Extra-Ordinary: The Everyday Object in American Art" exhibition as a group and afterwards we will go to Peace Park to grill hot dogs (we have tofu).
WHEN: 3:30-6ish Sunday, September 30, 2007.
WHERE: We will meet in front of the DFA library by the street at 3:30pm. The lovely three, Povy, Anooshey, and Katelyn have all agreed to drive us to AMOA and Peace Park. If you would rather drive yourself, then you could meet us at 4 at AMOA. In summary, these are the locations in sequence:
1.DFA
2.Austin Museum of Art
3.Peace Park
WHO: Everyone is invited. Even if you have never been to an official meeting, I encourage you to come and meet some of your fellow collegiates.
I've heard many a fine arts student say that before you know it, you're in your last year and you still haven't met or become friends with a student from another department in the College of Fine Arts. Don't take these years for granted!
Thanks to Anooshey Rahim for organizing what I think will be a wonderful event.
Hope to see you there,
Sarah

T&D Needs Volunteers for UIL Conference!
Dear T & D Undergrads,
Want to be a part of something big? This is a great opportunity to help a UT program that gives high schoolers the opportunity to learn about our department and have a great experience! I am coordinating volunteers for the Fall 2007 UIL Super Conference and need people to spend a few hours of their time to make this event happen. University Interscholastic League is a huge deal for Texas high schoolers. Every fall, a conference is held at UT for students from across the state to attend. These students really look forward to the event, which can only happen with the help of volunteers -- YOU!
I will need volunteers to assist with set up and breakdown of workshop classrooms in the Winship building, which includes hanging signs, putting out refreshments, and distributing brochures. I will also need a volunteer in each room as well as hall monitors. These jobs are very easy and I think it would be a nice experience for anyone who partakes in this event. All volunteers can attend the workshops led by graduate students, so it is a great opportunity to learn more about theatre!
The conference takes place at the Winship Drama Building on Saturday, October 13 with two shifts: 7:30 AM-10:30 AM and 10:30 AM-2:00 PM. Please email me directly if you can spare a few hours to a great program and let me know which shift you can do, or if you can be an All-Star and do both.
Please email me with your Name, desired shift, phone number, and email at: briancfahey@gmail.com
I will be in touch to confirm your assignment closer to the Conference!
Thank You!!

Music Inspired by Art
Just a heads up to all of our artists out there. Here is a great chance to exhibit your art. Renee Gilliland is looking for works to be displayed for the first concert of the UT Symphony Orchestra on October 1, 2007. Read more details from her e-mail after the jump and drop her a line if you're interested!
WANTED: Artists to display works in Bates Recital Hall
For: The first concert of the UT Symphony Orchestra
When: Oct. 1, 7:30-10:30pm
My name is Renee Gilliland, I am a senior music studies major with the Fine Arts
Council. I play viola in the UT Symphony Orchestra conducted by Maestro
Zimmerman, and our first concert is scheduled for Oct. 1, at 8pm in Bates
Recital Hall. We will be performing a work by John Corigliano (composer of the
Red Violin), a Shostakovich String Symphony, and Mussorgsky's Pictures at an
Exhibition.
Mussorgsky wrote this piece from the inspiration of a posthuous showing of his
friend Viktor Hartmann's drawings, paintings, and designs. He also wrote music
to represent a viewer walking from work to work. Because this piece represents
MUSIC INSPIRED BY ART, we would LOVE to have artists display works before the
concert, at intermission and a little after the concert.
The art may be paintings, sculpture or anything that can be feasibly shown. A
brief description of the work should be displayed along with the artist's name.
We hope that while people are mingling and purchasing tickets, they will be able
to enjoy quality art before the concert and return to look at intermission.
Maestro Zimmerman and the UT Fine Arts are very excited about this. We would be
very grateful for your participation.
Any interested artists should contact me and let me know what kind of work, the
size, and a brief description.
If you have any questions please e-mail me at Reneeng@mail.utexas.edu
Cheers,
Renee Gilliland
UT FINE ARTS COUNCIL
