This project is made possible by the generous support of the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and the Office of the Dutch Consulate-General in Chicago. The Colorboration Project is a collaborative art studio and exhibition where the international artistic duo, Royce Deans and Tali Farchi will create and display their art which consists of painting the live music. The painters have been conducting similar sessions since 2007 where musicians of all sorts join the visual artists in their studio. The music created serves as the subject for what often ends up as expressionistic paintings. What outwardly occurs could most easily be defined as an artistic jam session where the two disciplines come together to surprise and inspire each other. What might otherwise end up as private studio session is now open for the public to observe and enjoy. Wherever Farchi and Deans work together around the world they enjoy drawing on the flavors of local musicians and The Colorboration Project - Loop is no different. Last March they were in a Logan Square space for 11 days where they met and worked with many fine Chicago musicians. Several of those musicians and composers plus a few new ones will join them in now in the Loop.  The Colorboration Project is going to include two events that we have never done before. The first on March 18th will be a Wet Paint Event - The Art of the Nude. We are asking for up to 20 artists to come join us in our space from 11am to 5pm to draw from the model. We will have four of them to work from. Then beginning at 6:30pm we will have a reception, and the art that was created fresh that day will be for sale. If you're an artist, come join in, if you are an art lover, it will be a great chance to get a hold of the newest, and I suppose the nudest art in the city. Visit the page. The second new event is The Colorboration Project Folk Fest. March 23 from Noon to Midnight we will be painting with the special music of Chicago's finest folk musician, singer/songwriters. Thanks to the support of the Old Town School of Folk Music this will be a really wonderful show case of the music that has such a rich heritage in Chicago. Visit the Folk Fest page.
