Every year, Ringling Students submit portfolios in the hope of being selected as a TOWN HALL lecture series student artist.  This is an opportunity to not only create a gift of art for one of our speakers but to present their work to the speaker.  This year was no different, the roster was set, the gifts assigned and the student artists went to work.

2020 TOWN HALL Lecture Series Student Gift of Art

2019 TOWN HALL Lecture Series Portraits

TOWN HALL’s Opening Act Student Animation

Past attendees of our TOWN HALL presentations know that to arrive on time to the Van Wezel means one is treated to the amazing and often award-winning computer animation of Ringling College students. If you came late, missed a lecture, or just need a pick-me-up watch below some of the featured videos beloved by our audience. We promise you’ll enjoy them so very much!
