Buses in Space

MOXI has partnered with MTD to present a special exhibition featuring the winning posters from their Youth Art Contest (available on MOXI’s 1st floor). Come explore imaginative and colorful artwork created by local students in grades 1 through 6, as they envision what buses might look like in outer space.

What Do Colors Sound Like?

Westmont grad, Tucker Howard, combines color, sound, and science in a unique art experience. He uses a custom algorithm to turn colors into sound, then uses vibration to shape that sound into visual patterns. Inspired by his ADHD and sensory experiences, the project includes a nine-track album, with each track based on a different color. Available this summer on MOXI’s 2nd floor.
