Encounters Art Experience Comes to Bayside
August 4 – September 1 (Wed. – Sun.) / 10 a – 11 p / Maine Studio Works (170 Anderson St, Portland)
Encounters is a one-of-a-kind, interactive immersive pop-up art event in Portland’s East Bayside neighborhood for the month of August. A combination of a theme park, art gallery, and performance space, visitors will “encounter” an otherworldly exhibit of art, technology, and live performances.
Encounters is an experience for all ages. On Saturday nights, our 6,000-square-foot gallery will host live performances by Firefly the Hybrid, MF Dynamics, Iam2.Us, and Viva. For an updated list of performances, visit Chroma2four.com/encounters.
“Working with my partner Cindy Thompson of Transformt and our collective of artists, we are thrilled to be a part of this groundbreaking art experience,” said James LaPlante, of Chroma2four and Sputnik Animation. “This unique art experience is created by a growing community of artists passionate about experimenting with technology and art to bring new and wonderful experiences to Maine.”
A portion of the proceeds from Encounters go to Creative Portland to support the creative economy in Maine.
Encounters arrives during the First Friday Art Walk on August 4th. This otherworldly art experience will captivate visitors throughout the entire month, culminating on Friday, September 1st. Find tickets at the door or online at www.chroma2four.com/encounters.
