On Friday, August 1, visit the Whatcom Museum’s Lightcatcher building to see the gallery transformed by Music, Shadow, and Light for a one-weekend-only pop-up exhibition you won’t soon forget.
Created by artist Heather Dawn Sparks and the Femme Metal Collective, the space will come alive with large-scale, intricately cut metal and paper sculptures. Slithering snakes, looming spiders, and feisty foxes will come alive with cast shadows and splashes of projected light and color. Beyond the visual feast, you can use paper cut outs to create your own large-scale shadow art projections in the pop-up Shadow Sail Theatre, relax in the gallery to draw or sketch, or simply immerse yourself in the space.
Then, stay through the evening on August 1 and move to live beats from DJs Radiant Heat and Lotus Drops from 6 – 8:30 pm. Don’t miss this celebration of art, color, and music! The pop-up exhibition will only be on view through Sunday, August 3.
