Ruby City & Trinity University KRTU’s partnership continues with a special installment of Music in the Park featuring Money Chicha!

Guests are invited to bring folding chairs or picnic blankets and enjoy an evening of live music under the stars. Complimentary light bites and drinks will be provided. 

This event is free and open to all. Registration is not required.

Money Chicha is an Austin, Texas based group featuring members of the Grammy-award winning Latin orchestra Grupo Fantasma and its offshoot funk outfit Brownout which performs a fuzzed-out, reverb-drenched and percussion-heavy style of music inspired by the sounds of Peru and Colombia in the 60’s and 70’s. This style of music, sometimes called “Chicha” music, is known for its infectious Latin beat, its psychedelic, surf guitar pyrotechnics and its melodies influenced by the indigenous culture of the Andes mountains.

Ruby City presents Weed is a Word, a site-responsive project by Julia Barbosa Landois that transforms a fenced lot into a space for reflection, gathering, and ecological reimagining. Through the garden installation, Landois explores how language shapes ideas of belonging, considering how the term “weed” is used to define what is valued, excluded, or removed. 

At the center of the project, a garden interrupts the existing turf, reintroducing plant species often dismissed or “weeded out” of contemporary landscapes, including native and beneficial varieties such as goldenrod, purslane, frogfruit and shy plant. By foregrounding these plants, the work invites visitors to reconsider systems of classification in both ecological and human contexts, drawing connections between cultivation, migration, and care. 

Situated at the Studio Yard, in dialogue with a nearby text work by Daniel Joseph Martinez, the project reflects on how definitions of beauty and value are constructed and contested. What is removed, what is preserved, and who decides? Prior to this event, the artist will also offer a lecture at Trinity University on Tuesday, October 6th from 12:45-1:45PM. Learn more about the event and the project here.

Join us on October 10 from 11AM-1PM, for a public gathering and to meet the artist. Enjoy complimentary tea from R+R Collective Co. and bites from Miss Chickpea’s Bakeshop, inspired by plants found in our local landscape.

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 invites the community to celebrate the season with Chuck Ramirez’s Christmas Trees at Studio.

Spend time with the installation, gather with friends and family, and enjoy Studio and Chris Park. 

Portrait appointments are limited to 15 minutes for individuals or groups of up to four people. Advance registration is required, and appointments will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Registration details will be announced soon.

Always free.

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

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.
