Ars Poetica, a newly-formed club on campus, was founded with the purpose of giving students a way to express themselves through music.

“We are community artists collaborating collaborating in events to showcase our talents and establish outselves into the art world,” said Edgar Rodriguez, club president.

The club has previously cosponsored a Halloween event in the Great Hall.

Ars Poetica currently has 15 active members.

One of the projects the club is currently planning is a CD compilation of original songs.

Members are also planning an event they call “Storytime.”

“It’s an event dedicated to having artists explore the art of storytelling,” said Rodriguez.

Ars Poetica sometimes hold jamming sessions during their club meetings. Members bring their own instruments,

and the group spends part of the meeting playing music. The club meets Thursdays at 4 p.m. in room 3401 in the Music building.
