Work by Myron Laban

Opening Reception: August 6th, 4 - 7 pm

Viewing Hours: August 7th, 11 am - 2 pm

The show will embody the music from the Feel EP by Myron Laban and Maurice Mayes via an immersive art experience. Select paintings and installations will be displayed which illustrate various tracks on the EP. The goal is to transport the audience through the transformation of the gallery space, allowing the music to be felt through the art and the art to be felt through the music.
