SEEING MUSIC: WHAT HAPPENS WHEN ART AND MUSIC OVERLAP?

Artist-musician duo Blue Lobelia & Kurtis Eugene present an all-ages workshop this Friday for local musicians and visual artists to collaborate

This Friday, Rachel Bruch (Blue Lobelia) and Kurtis Eugene, a Halifax-based artist-musician duo, invite local musicians and visual artists to participate in a collective mixed-media artistic composition inspired by performing live musical improvisation.

The workshop, titled Seeing Music, will take place on September 15, from 7:00 – 9:00 pm, at YogaGrow (441 King Street, upstairs from Savage’s).

Participants will have the opportunity to explore and create both music and visual art, by working with guided musical improvisation for creative stimulation. Participants are encouraged to bring their preferred instrument and art supplies. No prior experience is required, all necessary materials will be provided, and all ages are welcome.

Seeing Music is presented by Connexion Artist-Run Centre for Contemporary Art (Connexion ARC), part of the centre’s public artistic programming during the Harvest Jazz & Blues Festival, titled AFTER HOURS.

“This workshop will be a unique experience. Art and music are two things that naturally go hand-in-hand but it is not an everyday occurrence for the two to interconnect in a live setting,” says Kasie Wilcox, Director of Connexion ARC. “Participants will have the opportunity to engage one another with their medium of choice while contributing to a dialogue about art and music.”
