Songs Without Words
Photography by Jacob Johnson
Opening Reception: Sunday, July 19, 6-8 p.m.
Musical performance by Jacob Johnson begins at 7 p.m.
Interdisciplinary artist Jacob Johnson seamlessly blends his talents as a classical guitarist and fine art photographer in Songs Without Words, on view in the Education Hallway Gallery at Lewisville Grand Theater from July 18–August 15. Thoughtfully conceived as a unified artistic experience, Songs Without Words explores the relationship between music and photography, inviting viewers to "hear" visual imagery and "see" musical expression. The project is comprised of a photobook, an EP of solo guitar music, and public exhibition, which includes a live musical performance by Johnson himself. Join us for the opening reception on Sunday, July 19 from 6–8 p.m. Musical performance will begin at 7 p.m.
