CAM

San Antonio’s Contemporary Art Month 2013 kicked off at the beginning of March. With practically countless shows, performances, openings, parties, and pop-ups taking place every day this month,  the CAM calendar of events could overwhelm even the most energetic and zealous of art lovers.

Good old St. Mary’s University has revamped their MBA program, adding some sparkle in the form of a partnership with 3 Day Startup and kick-starting their efforts with a grant from Graham Weston’s 80/20 Foundation. Called the “Greehey MBA for Values-Driven Leaders, ” this revamped program intends to be relevant, values-focused, and unique from other MBA programs around the country.

The ninth incarnation of PechaKucha in San Antonio, conveniently situated just after Valentine’s Day and so themed, featured couples who work together. Artists, musicians, chefs, small business owners, designers, architects… All dipping their pens in the company ink. How scandalous!

Woah there, Phil Davis, theatre in San Antonio is doing just fine. Enter AtticRep – a professional theatre company in residence at Trinity University. Since 2005, this company has presented provocative, challenging work with the intention of catalysing dialogue about some of the more difficult and taboo subjects.
