NAA Visiting Guest Artist BRUSHlREED Performance & Reception

Newburyport Art Association welcomes NAA Visiting Guest Artists: BRUSH|REED, a painter and saxophone collaborative duo, for a two-day residency as part of Newburyport’s Spring Arts Fest.

BRUSH|REED is a collaboration between visual artist, Linnea Maas, and musician, Dr. Jennifer Bill, to explore the parallels of painting and sound through live performance. BRUSH|REED engages an audience through color, pitch, representational lines, rhythm, intensity and expression: an aural-visual experience. Jennifer transforms the printed notes of her musical score into lush soundscapes, while Linnea further interprets the music into visual color and form on her fresh canvas. The live art that blooms at every BRUSH|REED performance captivates and moves audiences. The paintings that emerge establish a visual memory of the sights, sounds, and emotions of each intimate affair, impressing upon each audience member a feeling of symbiosis between the two disciplines presented to them.

Performances are free to the public, however space is limited. To RSVP for the NA performance, please visit our website at https://newburyportart.org
