Dreamwork Workshop is a recurring series that explores dreams as a catalyst for reflection, imagination, and personal growth. Guided by a certified dream interpreter, each session introduces foundational dreamwork practices through conversation, guided exercises, readings, and practical techniques that participants can continue using long after the workshop ends.

Designed for both beginners and returning participants, the series offers approachable ways to improve dream recall, recognize recurring images and symbols, and build a personal practice rooted in curiosity rather than fixed interpretation. While every workshop explores a different aspect of dreamwork, each provides a welcoming introduction to using dreams as a source of creativity, self-discovery, and deeper awareness.

No prior experience is required.

Ruby City presents Being for Others, a site-specific projection by artist Violette Bule that brings together personal stories, images, and memories to explore belonging, identity, and care across cultures and generations. 

Developed during Bule’s stay in San Antonio through a series of community workshops, this special presentation transforms individual experiences into a portrait of the city. Participants contributed photos, words, and personal reflections, expanding the project from autobiographical narrative to collaborative meditation on migration, remembrance, and the ways identity continues to be shaped by place, language, and human connection. 

Presented as an outdoor video projection on the Ruby City Plaza, Being for Others invites audiences to reflect on the resilience of community and the power of storytelling to bridge differences, foster empathy, and celebrate the ways art can preserve memory and create new spaces for belonging. 

Always free.

Parking is available for free at Ruby City’s parking lot at 1203 S Flores and along Camp Street.

Join Ruby City for a free community screening of Acting Like Women, a documentary exploring the groundbreaking feminist performance art movement that emerged in Los Angeles during the 1970s. 

Through archival footage, interviews, and personal reflections, the film revisits the influential Woman’s Building and the artists who challenged traditional expectations of women through performance, collaboration, and activism. The film celebrates a generation of artists who used their bodies, voices, and creativity to confront social conventions, reclaim their narratives, and transform the cultural landscape. 

Following the screening, join director Cheri Gaulke and writer and producer Anne Gauldin for a conversation and audience Q&A. The filmmakers will reflect on the film, the legacy of feminist performance art, and its continued relevance today. 

Presented in connection with Ruby City’s exhibition Generative Disruption: Feminist Art from the Collection, the screening invites audiences to consider the power of art as a tool for expression, resistance, and collective change. 

Free and open to the public. Reserve your seat today!
