Art and Music through a Humanities Lens
Join us for an unforgettable afternoon exploring visual and musical arts. CAFE Flutes will provide live music that relates to four works of fine art on display in Tempe Artists Guild’s Past, Present, and Future Exhibition. Experience the juxtaposition of paintings with the live music. The program, facilitated by leading humanities professors, will build meaning and create dialogue about how artists and composers express their ideas, and how audiences process them. This interdisciplinary program excites and invites artist and audience participation!
Featured TAG artists: Becky Spradling, Gail Boyd, Tom Minor, Sunni Kuraoka.

About the Humanities Scholars

Dr. Janice Jarrett
Artists know that the very, very personal is universal. They invite us to participate, to interact, but we don’t always have opportunities that foster this interaction. The process of engagement can be made more possible by dialogue.
– Dr. Janice Jarrett, Humanities Scholar, Music Specialist

Dr. Julie Codell
I look forward to discussing the relationship between visual art and sound, and how images and music are perceived differently. There is a rich historic and cultural context for us to explore.”
