Program Council’s Performing and Visual Arts Committee will present a weeklong series of events showcasing a diverse mix of artistic talent.

PVAC Chairwoman Sarah Harris said the goal of the week, called “PVAC Attack!” is to increase the appreciation of nontraditional art forms among students.

“We are trying to expose students to all kinds of art,” she said. “It is an important part of culture that often gets overlooked.”

The week will kick off at the flagpole at 11 a.m. Monday with a two-hour demonstration by spray-paint artist Martin Martinez.

“He uses spray paint and regular household items like newspapers and lids to create art,” Harris said. “His art is really unique and [the process] is amazing to watch.”

On Tuesday, the committee will present an ice sculpture carving demonstration at the same site from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Harris said ice sculptor James Papas will use a chainsaw to create multiple ice sculptures, including one of the SMU emblem.

The events move to the Hughes-Trigg Commons on Wednesday when PVAC will host a “happy hour” from noon to 1 p.m. Harris said it will include a surprising event.

Thursday, SMU student Flip Caderao and friends will perform hip-hop music in the Hughes-Trigg Commons from 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. The team has performed at several Dallas locations.

PVAC will conclude the week on Friday by showcasing henna tattoo artists from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Hughes-Trigg Commons. Students can receive the free temporary tattoos from one of five henna artists.

Maya Mahoney, a PVAC member, is proud of the week the committee has planned.

“I think people are really going to enjoy it,” she said. “It will be a great opportunity for our committee to make a name for ourselves among SMU students and faculty.”
