ATHICA is delighted to have local artist and blithe spirit Eli Saragoussi on site as our Artist-in-ATHICA, in conjunction and collaboration with AD*VERSE Fest 2020. Drop by and visit her during her open studio hours leading up to the AD*VERSE performances at ATHICA and Caledonia on March 6-7, 2020. She will continue to be on site through March 22, and will be announcing additional hours and doings for that time.
States Saragoussi: “During my time in this ATHICA residency, I will be creating stage designs to be used for the Ad.Verse music festival. This involves painting various set pieces, installing a whimsical world within the ATHICA gallery and assembling the design for the Caledonia stage. My goal is to make a space that feels immersive, slightly removed from reality and inspires the audience and musicians alike.”
