The International Arts Festival 2024 – “Art as Ministry”
Join us on March 23, 2024, from 3 to 6 p.m. for the second International Arts Festival at UIW! This year’s festival explores connections between faith and artistic expression, and it will feature three diverse programs: Prokofiev’s Visions fugitives with choreography by Violeta De Leon Davila and costumes by UIW’s Ashleigh Poteat; Adelante Winds, performing a program of new works by members of the Composers Alliance of San Antonio; and renowned kathak dancers Marami Medhi and Meghranjani Medhi from Assam, India. The festival will also feature a small exhibition of artistic works connected to “Art as Ministry.” Light refreshments will be served. Free and open to the public.
