Institution/Business Type: Arts Center

The Austin Arts Center is the hub of cultural life at Trinity College.

The AAC fosters dynamic arts engagement across and beyond Trinity’s campus and is home to Goodwin Theater, Garmany Hall, Widener Gallery, and Gruss Music Center. Alongside the array of campus arts venues, the AAC often supports and programs arts events in the Performance Lab (Trinity Commons) and the Media and Performance (Crescent Center for Arts and Neuroscience).

The AAC is named for A. Everett “Chick” Austin, Jr., founder of the Trinity Department of Fine Arts and the nationally recognized former director of Hartford’s Wadsworth Atheneum—America’s first public art museum—from 1927-1945.
