We still have a few copies of collector Harley J. Spiller's artist's book documenting the history of his collection and his thoughts about his 30-year archive - get them while they last!
Musical activity, whether listening to, playing, or creating music, activates virtually all parts of the brain. Even so, the connection between music and the mental health are rarely discussed in depth.
In the 28th event from the music community [The Soundshop](https://www.the-soundshop.com/about), we will begin exploring this important topic. Musicians will present on the connection between of music and mental health, both as a musician and as a music listener, in a mix of performance, intellectual conversation, and audience participation.
Join The Soundshop at the City Reliquary on **Saturday, May 25**! Doors open at 1:30 and presentations by participating artists will start at 2:00. [Advance tickets are available from Kinvite!](https://kinvite.co/p/AP0uqcEy)
Built from found materials, the world of the Art Neighborhood reflects the themes of struggle, beauty, hope, and transformation. It embodies the call to action necessary to address problems of poverty and conflict. Visitors participate by creating action figures - of themselves or alter egos - to add to the Art Neighborhood community installation with the understanding that artistic expression is one of many ways to answer a call to action.
Lisa will begin building this incarnation of the Art Neighborhood at the Reliquary on Thursday, May 30. Everyone is invited to come watch its progress and to create their own action figure to populate the town! Action figure workshops will take place on June 15 and July 13. The complete set of action figures, built by artists, children, musicians, activists, and museum-goers over the past decade, will be on rotating view in the front gallery space.
If you are a past participant in the Art Neighborhood, we especially hope to see you over the course of the exhibition, and hope you'll add to your character's story.
