Film Screening Presents A Unique Art-In-Nature Experience

AUSTIN, TX — The Films of Cameron Jamie and the themes and rituals associated with exploration of contemporary society will screen at The Contemporary Austin at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 3 at Laguna Gloria — the museum's fourteen-acre campus on Lake Austin that let's visitors enjoy an art-in-nature experience to better appreciate and understand the artist's creative expression.

Visitors will have the opportunity to explore the work of Cameron Jamie, an American visual artist whose work interprets ritualistic practices of European and American societies.
