Featuring: Thomas Helton, bassist/composer/improviser; Amelia Heintzelman, dancer/performer; and Hunter Diamond, saxophonist/composer/improviser. At Atlantic Center for the Arts (ACA), we realize the situation surrounding COVID-19 has left many artists feeling disconnected from their creative communities, in addition to facing canceled exhibitions and performances. With this in mind, we are giving former Associate Artists the opportunity to connect and share their work on ACA’s YouTube channel. Past alumni were invited to submit a video of a performance, art talk, composition, etc. Entitled “ONlinE INsideOUT,” this series of videos is a mini version of the INsideOut event, which takes place during the final week of an ACA 3-week residency program.
At 11 AM on July 18th, Atlantic Center for the Arts will present a virtual koan about connecting with the collective field. Join us on YouTube with a beginner's mind, and explore the invisible wonder of soundscape.
Enjoy the outdoors with this engaging activity. Artist Bethany Bennett, MFA leads you through sketch techniques and wellness exercises to bring you closer to nature. You just need a sketch pad and pencil. www.facebook.com/atlanticcenterforthearts
