Art Club: Music Sampling, Night 1

This winter, Art Club is warming up with new workshops and a bar. Each week offers a standing invitation to explore and create across our campus. Stop by the Art Lab for drop-in artmaking with Walker educators. Every week is a chance to experiment with a new medium, idea, or muse. A cash bar is available in the lobby so you can sip while you create.

Dip your toes into experimenting with sound through interactive music-sampling workshops. This is the first night of a three-part series. Each week is a continuation of learning and interacting with simple techniques for loop pedal sampling.

Join us for Night 1 to make your own DIY instruments and noisemakers.

Activity instructions, available in English and Spanish, are designed for ages 4 and up. Materials are provided and distributed on a first-come, first-served basis; supplies are limited. No prior registration is required for Art Club: the more you visit, the more you’ll discover.
