SUMMARY:Friends of Art Program
DESCRIPTION:D Major is Sky Blue: The Blended Senses of Synethesia\nSpeaker: Katherine Bourdon \nSynesthesia\, a common trait among artists and musicians\, is a neurological phenomenon in which the sensory pathways become crossed or joined. Sound may be “seen” as colors\, or taste felt as shapes. Synesthesia affected the artwork of Wassily Kandinsky and Paul Klee\, and the music of Leonard Bernstein\, Duke Ellington\, and Billy Joel\, to name a few. Discover the minds of synesthetes and how they experience their worlds. \nKate Bourdon is an artist\, MMA docent\, and music teacher who taught vocal music in Michigan public and private schools for over 30 years. She now pursues her passion as an artist while teaching piano and flute privately. Her award–winning artwork has exhibited throughout West Michigan and is represented in private collections in the Midwest and Canada. \nFriends of Art morning programs are free and open to the public. Paid admission is required for museum gallery entrance. \n

SUMMARY:Artist and Mother
DESCRIPTION:Brown Bag Film\n(56 mins.) In this episode of ArtBound\, we explore the profiles of four California artists who make motherhood a part of their art: Kenyatta A.C. Hinkle\, Andrea Chung\, Rebecca Campbell\, and Tanya Aguiñiga. There’s a persisting assumption in contemporary art circles that you can’t be a good artist and good mother both. But these artists are working to shatter this cliché\, juggling demands of career and family and finding inspiring ways to explore the maternal in their art. \nFilm admission is free. Complimentary cookies and coffee. Paid admission is required for gallery entrance. \n
