Sounds & Signs: Live Community Art-Making Event
August 4, 2023 at 5:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Nu Mu Festival Schedule
118 Elliot welcomes all to participate in a community art-making ‘Sounds & Signs’ event where visual representations of sound or ‘graphic scores’ will be made to be ‘played’ later by an improvisational orchestra. The free event, which kicks-off 118 Elliot’s month-long Nu Mu Tu Music and Art Festival, runs from 5 to 8 pm at the August 4th Brattleboro Gallery Walk at 118 Elliot, 118 Elliot Street, Brattleboro, Vermont.
The event will be led by Hallie Lederer, who works in community outreach at Brooklyn’s Powerhouse Arts. Some of the graphic scores created at this event will be interpreted by the Improvisational Community Orchestra on Sunday, August 27 to close the Nu Mu Tu Festival and exhibited throughout the month as part of the ‘Sounds & Signs’ exhibit at 118 Elliot gallery.
118 will be prepared for art making with various stations equipped with free art-making materials. There will be a large central collaborative composition that anyone can work on with guidance from Lederer. Various smaller stations, each with their own art-making materials, will be available to artists who prefer to work individually or in smaller groups.
Additionally, ‘Sounds & Signs’ will feature an exhibition with a scholarly overview of graphic scores which will be on display throughout the month to guide participants and provide a context for the community project.
Interested community members are also invited to participate in the Community Improvisational Orchestra performance on the 27th. Please come to our run-throughs on August 17th and 24th at 7pm at 118 Elliot to prepare.
Please see the 118 Elliot website for additional details or email 118Elliot@gmail.com.
