Start 2018 surrounded by light and music.

We’ll start the gathering with Cheryl Calleri as she discusses her new site-specific installation, Offering, which is composed of luminous objects intended to provide contemplation in our ever-amplified world. Take a moment to explore the light and then listen as local ensemble The Haydn Enthusiasts perform a selection of quartets by the classical composer Joseph Haydn, who is often credited for the modern concept of the symphony and whose classical compositions are noted for their lyricism. Join us for the first 2018 Vessel Art Seeds, a series of events where we erase the lines between artistic disciplines.
