A special musical performance and artist guided experience takes place August 18 at the Beaverbrook Art Gallery.
Last month the Beaverbrook Art Gallery opened Transcendence, a massive custom-designed mural by artist Deanna Musgrave. Inspired by both the Gallery’s famous Dali masterpiece Santiago El Grande, and apocalyptic themes, Transcendence occupies an entire wall inside the Elizabeth Currie Gallery on the Green.
To celebrate this exhibiting work, the Gallery will host a special evening of music composed by Andrew Reed Miller and featuring singer Sally Dibblee. This music will accompany Musgrave’s guided activation of her artwork which will include calm and guided listening about the painting, and music. A casual discussion about the work will take place after the performance.
Tickets are by donation. Details below.
