Brushstrokes and Soundwaves
Saturday, December 7, 2024; 1-2 pm
Welcome to Brushstrokes and Soundwaves! Artist Tauna Cole and musician Annie Pennies have collaborated to bring music and art together for an immersive experience. Follow along to a guided watercolor painting session by Tauna while Annie performs her sound bath, creating a range of sounds and tones with a variety of instruments. Interpret the sounds through colors, shapes, and movement--creating compositions that don’t require experience, only listening with your body and mind.
Participants are encouraged to bring their own mats.
