Caponi Art Park in Eagan is hosting Fall Sound Garden on September 14th and 15th with free community workshops leading up to the event
Caponi Art Park in Eagan is a super fun place to visit! It’s a 60-acre park filled with nature, a sculpture walk, walking paths, an outdoor ampitheater and more. They offer lots of fun programming throughout the year.
Coming up on September 14th and 15th, is the Fall Sound Garden. Sound artist/composer James Everest will present one of his works, the Fall Sound Garden, from 12-4pm each day. The Sound Garden event will feature a multi-channel sound installation of 70 speakers, each playing a different part of the whole piece of music, spread out over 3 acres of the park’s wooded paths and open clearings. In addition, there will be live roving musicians, dancers, and spoken word artists, and displays of photography, sculpture, and visual art.
Before the Fall Sound Garden, Caponi Art Park will be hosting 3 free workshops: a poetry and creative writing in nature workshop, a music and sound in nature workshop, and natural sculpture workshop. Following the workshops, the creations will be incorporated into the Fall Sound Garden. So come to a workshop to create your own art and then head to Caponi the following weekend to see it during the event!
