“Create” is the focus of Austin Community College’s 2014-2015 arts and humanities season beginning in September.<\/p>\n
The theme was chosen to reflect the activities and energy of the Arts & Humanities Division, says Lyman Grant, dean of the division.<\/p>\n
“Create is what we do,” he says. “We foster students’ creativity and help them broaden their understanding of the world.”<\/p>\n
The public is welcome, and all events are free unless noted otherwise. For information, contact the division at (512) 223.3352.<\/p>\n
