SUMMARY:Color School Kickoffs Summer with Live Music
DESCRIPTION:The band Color School performs outdoors in Del Ray Artisans gardens from 3-5pm on the closing day (Saturday\, May 28) of the Drips\, Lines\, Splatters\, and Splash: A Celebration of the Washington Color School art exhibit to kickoff summer and the start of our Creative Summer Programs (June 1–August 31). \nMost of the members of the local band Color School are themselves DC-area natives. Their name was the suggestion of the band’s bass player\, photographer Charles Steck\, who had taken pictures of all the original Washington School artists. Steck had suggested the name ten years ago. The band liked the idea of being a DC-based band not using a name with a political bent. As drummer Bill Kalish notes\, “Art and music bump up against each other in all kinds of great ways and we thought that all the bright colors and bold graphics of the Color School fit our Pop band.” \nThese days\, however\, the Color School sound has moved in more of a funk direction. Color School recently dropped their new single\, Gateau. Living on Music’s Steve Houk will be in conversation with Bill Kalish and other members of the Color School band to chat about Gateau and promote their DRA gallery gig. Tune in @ youtu.be/g6q879aNEYw \nCome on over to Del Ray Artisans and check out the local live music bumping into some ARTastic channeling of the Washington Color School and Color Field movements. DC-area superstar artist\, student of the Color School\, and exhibit juror Barbara Januszkiewicz will be dropping by to meet and greet artists\, patrons\, and Color School band fans alike. \nCheck out our Creative Summer Programs (June 1–August 31) now to see the upcoming workshops and events.
