THE AUSTIN ARTS CENTER IS THE HUB OF CULTURAL LIFE AT TRINITY COLLEGE.<\/h4>\n

Since the building\u2019s dedication in 1965, AAC has hosted many of our most significant local, regional, and national artists. AAC continues to foster dynamic engagement with arts and ideas across and beyond Trinity\u2019s campus communities and the Greater Hartford area. Named for Arthur Everett \u201cChick\u201d Austin, Jr. (founder of the Trinity Department of Fine Arts and the nationally recognized former director of Hartford\u2019s Wadsworth Atheneum from 1927-1945), AAC serves as an artistic home to Trinity\u2019s Theater and Dance, Music, and Studio Arts Departments and houses and stewards several key campus venues<\/a>. In all its functions, AAC strives to provide a welcoming and inclusive environment in which our imaginations are activated, conversation is nurtured, and new perspectives are possible.<\/p>\n

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT<\/strong><\/h4>\n

As a community at Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut, we acknowledge that we are on the unceded land called Suckiaug, or Black Earth, central to the lives of certain Indigenous peoples. The Connecticut River Valley has been home to Native people for millennia. Trinity College acknowledges the impact of marginalization on the Wangunk, Mahican, Nehantic, Nipmuck, Pequonock, Podunk, Tunxis, and Wappinger peoples, as well as other impacted groups. The Trinity community also honors the sovereignty of our neighbors, the Mashantucket Pequot, Mohegan, Eastern Pequot, Golden Hill Paugussett, and Schaghticoke nations. We commit to continue partnering with the Indigenous communities of Hartford and from across the state.<\/p>\n
