ArteFest is being held at Jackson Auditorium this Saturday and Sunday. What is are ArteFest, you ask? It is a celebration of Dia de los Muertos shown through music, film, art, and food. Over the course of two days, so much will be happening. The preshow begins with live body painting, dancing, poetry, and the premiere of La Llorona – a short film written and produced by our very own Professor Shannon Ivey. All of these fun festivities start at 7:00pm in Jackson Auditorium and lead up to the headliner, Grammy Award Winning accordion player and "Father of Conjunto Music" Flaco Jiménez, who will be preforming on stage for all to enjoy. Throughout the course of the weekend during the day there will also be face painting, tons of food, and an altar decorating contest.
This is the first time ArteFest is being put on here at Texas Lutheran University, and should not be missed. It is a time for celebration, relaxation, and a chance for a new cultural perspective. Also, most importantly, Ladies and Gentlemen, IT’S FREE. So, feel free to stop on by Jackson this weekend and partake in the celebration of Dia de los Muertos.
