Chroma Collective Interactive Concert: Hearing & Creating Art with LRU

Chroma Collective Interactive Concert: Hearing & Creating Art with LRU

 
 

Free Admission!

In collaboration with the Hickory Museum of Art, Chroma Collective presents an hour-long interactive concert that invites audience members to respond in real time to the music and tap into their inner artist.

Chroma Collective blends music and visual art in engaging and accessible ways, performing in classrooms, concert halls, libraries, and community spaces. Their programs highlight historically marginalized composers and are designed to help participants discover their own creativity. As the ensemble performs, audience members are encouraged to create artwork inspired by the music—painting, drawing, or experimenting with color, texture, and rhythm.

Through their unique chamber instrumentation of two trumpets and soprano/piano, Chroma Collective transforms each performance into an immersive, collaborative experience. The group’s mission is to make the act of creation approachable and enjoyable for all ages and backgrounds—no prior knowledge of music or art required.

This project is supported by a grant from Arts Culture Catawba.

L.A.T.E. Night On the Go: HMA + My Chapter House Book & Art Club Featuring “Girl With A Pearl Earring”
Oct

L.A.T.E. Night On the Go: HMA + My Chapter House Book & Art Club Featuring “Girl With A Pearl Earring”

October Book: The Girl with the Pearl Earring by Tracy Chevalier

Registration Deadline: Friday, September 26
Book Pick Up: Wednesday, October 1
Vermeer-Inspired Art Class: Thursday, October 23
Fee: $50; $40 Members (Includes Book + Art Class)

HMA has partnered with My Chapter House in Downtown Hickory to launch an ongoing Book & Art Club. Each month, participants will begin reading a new book on the 1st. On the 4th Thursday of the month, we’ll meet at My Chapter House for an art project inspired by that month’s book.

Author Tracy Chevalier transports readers to 17th-century Delft, Holland, in her richly imagined historical novel "Girl with a Pearl Earring" (1999). Inspired by Johannes Vermeer’s iconic painting "Girl with a Pearl Earring", Chevalier crafts a fictional account of the young woman who posed for the masterpiece, bringing to life the artist, his household, and the world surrounding the creation of the painting.

History and fiction merge seamlessly in this luminous novel about artistic vision and sensual awakening. "Girl with a Pearl Earring" tells the story of sixteen-year-old Griet, whose life is transformed by her brief encounter with genius—even as she herself is immortalized in canvas and oil.

Contact Karla Starnes at kstarnes@hickoryart.org to register.

Chapter Coffee Co. will be open until 6 PM so grab a coffee or chai tea to enjoy while we create art!

L.A.T.E. Night Thursday | HMA + My Chapter House Book & Art Club

September Book: The Art Forger by B. A. Shapiro

Book Pick Up: Tuesday, September 2
Degas-Inspired Art Class: Thursday, September 25
Fee: $50; $40 Members (Includes Book + Art Class)

“Almost twenty-five years after the infamous art heist at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum—still the largest unsolved art theft in history—one of the stolen Degas paintings is delivered to the Boston studio of a young artist. Claire Roth has entered into a Faustian bargain with a powerful gallery owner by agreeing to forge the Degas in exchange for a one-woman show in his renowned gallery. But as she begins her work, she starts to suspect that this long-missing masterpiece—the very one that had been hanging at the Gardner for one hundred years—may itself be a forgery. The Art Forger is a thrilling novel about seeing—and not seeing—the secrets that lie beneath the canvas.”

HMA has partnered with My Chapter House in Downtown Hickory to launch an ongoing Book & Art Club. Each month, participants will begin reading a new book on the 1st. On the 4th Thursday of the month, we’ll meet at My Chapter House for an art project inspired by that month’s book.
