Calling all painters, video artists, dancers, photographers, and filmmakers...
Are you an environmentally conscious
Painter? Video artist? Filmmaker? Photographer? Dancer? VJ?
We want you to be a part of the next Stonecutter Records/Acoustic Chicago concert
“E-coustic Chicago” Submit your films, paintings, and video art to be considered for inclusion in a live event that will showcase your art alongside Acoustic Chicago musicians.
We believe art is organic in nature and that all types of art compliment each other, which is why Acoustic Chicago is putting on the E-coustic Chicago Art and Environmental Celebration. E-coustic Chicago is a fusion of music, dance, painting, photography, fashion, film, and video. E-coustic Chicago’s purpose is to support these art forms and the deserving artists behind them, while maintaining environmentally conscious themes throughout the evening.
How will these art forms be fused?
For us, it all starts with the music. Acoustic Chicago is a collection of great music featuring 13 of Chicago’s finest musicians, all of whom bring distinct influences to the table. The E-coustic Chicago concert will feature 8 of these musicians performing live and acoustic, with a twist; the musical performers will share the entire venue with other great visual artists including live painters, live video artists (VJs), live dancers, photographers, and filmmakers, in order to create a shared vision of art where talents can enrich one another and feed off the energy of a live crowd.
