Advance Registration Required
This weekend intensive invites artists to create a sound art miniature in a 48-hour period on the theme "There is Art in Our Nature."
Fall is undeniably a remarkable time for the changes in the tree canopy. However, there are also many changes and movements in the soundscape worth considering, as both people and animals prepare for the arrival of winter.
The 48-hour Sound Art Challenge will take place at Warbler’s Roost, a 14-acre rural, forested and lake-side property in the Almaguin Highlands. NAISA will provide assistance with access to its supply of equipment. Participating artists should bring their own portable recording devices and computers and other tools necessary for their creation.
Peer learning and sharing will be encouraged throughout the process and NAISA Artistic Director Darren Copeland will facilitate and assist participants.
Results of the 48-hour Sound Art Challenge will be aired on NAISA Radio and NAISA’s social media channels after completion.
