Exploring the intersection between visual and performing arts, the exhibition “Rhythm & Movement: The Art of Music” invited artists to create new pieces in response to hearing songs by local musicians of various genres: Joseph Leone, Lorena Limongi, The Lonesome Dawn, Susan Staley, Ivan Strunin and Marty Winkler. The creative challenge reflects how music can affect mood and the artistic process, all while resulting in interesting physical interpretations of sound. In conjunction with “Rhythm & Movement,” OCAF will host a series of plein air painting/drawing workshops accompanied by live performances on Apr. 23, May 21 and June 11. On view in OCAF’s main gallery, the “43rd Georgia Watercolor Society National Exhibition” shares works by 79 different artists. Both exhibitions will remain on view through June 3.
