Saturday at 10am at @historicsaintlukes, come join the @jgi.neworleans art workshop with @amybryansart and learn about artist Lois Mailou Jones and enjoy making art inspired by her work. 🎨

🎨 LET’S TALK ABOUT COLOR AND PATTERN!
One of the most exciting aspects of Loïs Mailou Jones’s artwork is the way she incorporated color, pattern, and geometric shapes into her compositions.
Her painting Les Fétiches (1938) is a wonderful example. Inspired by African masks and sculpture, the painting brings together striking forms and powerful imagery.
As her career progressed, Jones continued to explore African and Caribbean influences, incorporating vibrant colors, rhythmic patterns, and increasingly abstract elements into her work.
Look closely at her paintings. Notice the shapes, colors, lines, and patterns. How do these elements work together?
These are some of the ideas we will explore in our workshop this Saturday! Link in bio or comments.
Come make art with us!

Thank you @operaphila for this opportunity to share with your audience our big experiment, the opera-play inspired by Tennessee Williams’ Suddenly Last Summer, and for co-commissioning this work along with @fishercenterbard. I love Philadelphia and appreciate the time I spent there as composer-in-residence with @operaphil some years ago, so this is a full circle moment of gratification and with gratitude. Glad to see so many friends, colleagues, former profs, and representatives of @mgsarutgers @columbia @booseyandhawkes showing support, and I appreciated meeting audience members and hearing their reactions and feelings.
More in Philly soon, but for now just taking it all in and giving thanks.

What if walking through water helped you compose your opera? 🎭🎼

In this clip — and in our article on writ.org — Courtney Bryan (@cbryanmusic) describes how the sounds, sensations and landscapes of the places she visited inspired writing Suddenly Last Summer.
Now, Opera Philadelphia brings Bryan’s new opera to the Forrest Theatre. Nate Chinen spoke with Bryan about the immersive research, birdsong and creative discoveries that shaped the work.
Read the full story on WRTI’s homepage and experience Suddenly Last Summer for yourself this weekend!
