Join us in MoNA’s Art Studio to celebrate the closing of Surge through art and creativity in response to pieces in the exhibition. This drop-in event is open to the public and invites you to wander through the galleries and be inspired by the exhibition. Then, come to the studio and collaborate on a community art piece that encourages you to share your perspective and connect with others.
Surge artist and Associate Professor of Sculpture and Expanded Media at Western Washington University, Sasha Petrenko, will also be giving a tour of her interactive installation, Forest Time Water. This piece is an ongoing collaboration with Dr. Andy Bunn, Professor of Environmental Studies. Sasha will demonstrate the piece and lead the curious through her sound sculpture, sharing the processes by which scientific research is transformed from numerical data points into musical frequencies.
This event is open to all! Come solo or bring your family and engage in hands-on art making!
Cost: Free for members | Suggested donation for non-members
