of artistic styles and beauty. Guests were able to walked through rows of ‘for
sale’ inspired works of art treated to wine and heavy hors d'oeuvres, viewed a wall
sized slide show featuring each work of art with a brief description of
exhibited artists, a band, silent auction and live painting.
Music was
performed by band The Prairie Willows while regional artist Abstract Alexandra
inspired by the band, painted a large-scale work of art. When asked ‘what she
enjoyed most about the project’ Visual Artist; Abstract Alexandra stated “painting
to music is akin to when one sees the color blue, pure harmony”.
This collaborative
event between painters and music was took months, if not years to create. Various
artists in the midlands were selected from a call-to-artists listing. Artists
were provided with a copy “In Dulcet Tones”, by Dr. Jones’ with instructions to
create works of art while listening to the music. The object to draw
inspiration while creating paintings.
