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.

Join artists Hilary Rochow, Lauren Raye Snow, and Erin Stanley for complimentary hand-drawn portraits alongside Chuck Ramirez’s Christmas Trees installation at Studio.

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.
