Adam Basanta's Every Beloved Object returns to ancient architectural techniques as it looks toward new systems of human consumption. By returning to basic motions of trash collection and architectural assembly, we reflect on our early origins to create new monuments to everyday debris.

Heather Nicol's newest audio work Prelude/Requiem positions itself at both extremes of the human life cycle. Built upon songs for lulling infants to sleep or easing passage into a final resting place, this immersive sound installation uses multichannel audio and light to encourage introspection across oral cultures.

OPEN.local LIVE is a monthly in-person event for creative entrepreneurs to learn about local businesses and the people behind them. Come out and meet the owners of 3 local businesses, as we highlight their journey. We are providing this networking platform to showcase the diversity in the community and the drive needed to achieve their goals. Our goal is to motivate the local entrepreneurs to keep striving, and hopefully this ongoing meet up will be a support system for all small business owners and entrepreneurs to connect. As OPEN. builds community, let’s use this opportunity to introduce ourselves, share our small businesses and network.

In this session you will learn how to approach and secure retailers, outreach and in person meetings, and how to increase your sales.
