PRAx Announces New SeasonFall 2025

The Patricia Valian Reser Center for the Creative Arts has announced its 2025–26 season, which features an increased slate of events and exhibitions to keep its many venues booked and busy.  Standout events include performances by artist-in-residence, percussionist and steel pan musician Andy Akiho, along with several performances and lectures exploring the season’s theme of “Arts + AI.”  PRAx hosted about 160 events in its inaugural 2024–25 season. Center staff had projected they would sell 19,000 tickets in their first year. As of June, they were on track to sell more than 32,000. 

Harry Yeff’s Voice Gems visualizes the human voice. See him perform on Oct. 3 at PRAx.

With many events selling out, one of the main goals of the new season was to expand ticket offerings so more people can experience more art, and to maintain a good balance between content that is joyful and content that is meaningful, said Peter Betjemann, Patricia Valian Reser executive director of the center and associate vice provost of arts and humanities.  “Variety is the lifeblood of PRAx; no doubt about it,” Betjemann said. “We ask people to step outside of their comfort zone. If we can get someone to try out a genre of music they haven’t tried, at least once per year, that’s great.” Learn more and buy tickets here.
