March 12-13, 2016

MEXIC-ARTE MUSEUM | 419 CONGRESS AVE., AUSTIN, TX

12PM-6PM

Welcome to the Refinery29 School Of Self Expression, an interactive environment celebrating the ways in which a new generation of women share their identities with the world through creativity, style, and technology. In keeping with Refinery29's mission of celebrating individuality, the school will give guests the tools to make their mark and bring their own unique stories to life.

School Rules

1) Explore.

Try out the latest technology fueling expression today, open locker doors to discover new worlds of content, step inside the Neiman Marcus Dream Closet, and award yourself at our trophy case.

2) Create.

Don't keep your hands — or your ideas — to yourself! Make your own stop-motion gif, take augmented reality selfies, complete a life-size coloring book, and leave your mark in the yearbook.

3) Learn.

When the student is ready, the teacher appears. Join the masters in thought-provoking, interactive classroom sessions and blow your own mind.
