Student-Imagined. Student-Led. Student-Produced.
For one whole week, The Cohen New Works Festival at The University of Texas at Austin celebrates original, multidisciplinary artistic work created by the students of UT and showcased all around campus. Watch as classrooms, lecture halls and outdoor spaces are transformed into stages, exhibits, installations and more. Student artists are encouraged to bring their bold ideas to fruition, whatever medium they may be, and put them on display for the Austin community at large. This is more than just a festival – this is where New Meets Now!
This event is free and open to the public.
