The Austin Arts Center is the hub of cultural life at Trinity College.
Since the building’s dedication in 1965, AAC has hosted many our most significant local, regional, and national artists. AAC continues to foster dynamic engagement with arts and ideas across and beyond Trinity’s campus communities and the Greater Hartford area. Named for Arthur Everett “Chick” Austin, Jr. (founder of the Trinity Department of Fine Arts and the nationally recognized former director of Hartford’s Wadsworth Atheneum from 1927-1945), AAC serves as an artistic home to Trinity’s Theater and Dance, Music, and Studio Arts Departments and houses key campus venues: Goodwin Theater, Garmany Hall, Widener Gallery, and Gruss Music Center. AAC also supports and programs arts events in the Trinity Chapel, Performance Lab (Trinity Commons), the Media and Performance Lab (Crescent Center for Arts and Neuroscience), and other sites across the campus.
